Music for a Frozen Land Part II

Continuing with a look at the wonderful and original music of John Luther Adams with his piece Inuksuit for 9 to 99 percussionists and intended to be performed outside. It is a very free work since performances are largely influenced by the environment it is peformed in, and the number of musicians and instruments involved. It was premiered in Banff Alberta during his residency there in 2009. He tries to conjure the shapes of the Inuksuit in the layered rythmic patterns. The result is magnificent and haunting. You can listen to Part I with Adams's "In the White Silence" here: http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/105/20296.html We will also hear other music from Northern people including some music from within the Arctic circle from Sweden, native people in Siberia, Inuit in Canada and music from northern China.
