Louvier-Candrakala (S)-P/3V/3B/M/C/2Crot/14 Gongs

Candrakala by Alain Louvier for percussion sextet. This piece is entirely built upon the Hindu rhythm "Candrahala" (Beauty of the Moon). The piece of an unreal and cosmic nature is almost entirely entrusted to the metallic percussion and should be submerged in a continuous resonance.
