The Music of Bali - 1941
(This seminal collection represents the roots of world music and minimalism)
Artists: Colin McPhee, Benjamin Britten, Georges Barrere
Colin McPhee (1900-1964) was involved in the circle of experimental composers known as the "ultra-modernists" and was among those—along with the group's leader, Henry Cowell, John Becker, and Cowell protégé Lou Harrison—particularly interested in what would later become known as "world music.
McPhee lived in Bali for the decade of the 1930s. Back in New York in 1941, McPhee recorded these three (which conveniently fit on the two sides of a 78 rpm record). His partner was the young British expatriate composer, Benjamin Britten. The set of transcriptions comprises three works, arranged in a typically Western fast/slow/fast suite. Since Balinese music with its patterns was an inspiration for minimalism (which McPhee, who died in 1964, did not quite live to witness) this music sounds surprisingly more modern.
