{"product_id":"cage-hymnkus-gamelanp-os","title":"Cage-Hymnkus-Gamelan(P) OS","description":"The title is a combination of two words: Hymn and (Hai)kus. The word hymn can be explained, because the parts are made up of verses, which are repeated. Haikus, because each of the verses consists of seventeen events. These events are played (or sung) four, five or six times, with varying tempo. The notation uses fixed time-brackets of 30 , 45 or 60 seconds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 2-15\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 5\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation:  Any Combination of.... \u003cbr\u003ewordless voice\u003cbr\u003ealto flute\u003cbr\u003eclarinet\u003cbr\u003ealto saxophone\u003cbr\u003etenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003etenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003ebassoon\u003cbr\u003etrombone\u003cbr\u003epercussion (2 players)\u003cbr\u003eaccordion\u003cbr\u003e2 pianos\u003cbr\u003eviolin \u003cbr\u003evioloncello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Cage was born on September 5, 1912 in Los Angeles, California and died in New York City on August 12, 1992.
