Tibetan Tunes

Description

Flute, Viola, Harp — Originally commissioned for piano trio by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University, the two-movement TIBETAN TUNES is now available in an alluring new arrangement by the composer for flute, viola, and harp. The first movement is inspired by the Tibetan folk tune "Du Mu," while the second movement "Dui Xie" is a kind of Tibetan folk ensemble music typically played with the plucked instrument Zhamunie, the bamboo flute, and the fiddle Erhu. Chen explains, "The music presents the rich gestures of Du Mu (a name of a god in Tibetan Buddhism) in a serene mood." For advanced players.
