Product details

Native Language was composed for kalimba and tárogató, but is open to performance on a range of instrument combinations. The initial idea for the piece came from a Deep Listening Piece of experimental composer Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) - A Series of Mini Pieces (1992). One of the instructions in this piece is: 'Always speak your native language (determine what that is)'. I employed a familiar kalimba tuning as the 'native language'. The piece goes through various feels and sections, exploring a range of tonal areas available on the kalimba in this tuning.

Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 digital (PDF) facsimile score (9p. -- A4 (portrait))

Difficulty: Medium — The difficulty in this piece lies in the rhythmic coordination between the players.

Duration: 4 mins, 30 sec.

Dedication note: Originally conceived as a piece for UK musician and friend Elie Fruchter, who was learning the tárogató
