Lou Harrison: The Perilous Chapel
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Harrison's music has a sense of humor. His Harp Suite (1952) is actually for guitar, harp, or harpsichord--here it's for guitar and all kinds of interesting percussion. Harrison's music is tonal, but he often adapts Indonesian pentatonic scales and Polynesian musical instruments as well as elements of dance, Eastern, and Western. The Perilous Chapel (1948) is a dance piece for flute, cello, drums, and harp, and though it's structured traditionally, Harrison blends the instruments in such a way as to make it sound oriental. If you're not familiar with Harrison, this is a good place to start. --Paul Cook
