How do you write a score for a solo piece for percussionist? And how do you practice for performance? Anyway, this piece is astounding. Here are two renditions of the piece that show the similiarities and differences:

I only now came across the South Korean contemporary classical music composer Unsuk Chin. Her oeuvre is vast and varied, from piano concertos to opera, percussion, and ensemble music.
This piece, "Gougalōn - Scenes from a street theatre", builds on her memories as a child in South Korea witnessing travelling musicians. «This piece is about an "imaginary folk music" that is stylized, broken within itself, and only apparently primitive.»
(https://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Unsuk-Chin-Gougalon/57868)
I'm very moved by this piece, stunned even. How did I miss this composer?

It's 1st of May and thus International Workers' Day.
Bruce Liles wrote this song in response to Scott Walker, Gouverneur of Wisconsin (2010 - 2018), who in 2011 introduced the "Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill" that elliminated collective bargaining for most Wisconsin public employees. The Bill drew wide protests and a protesters' occupation of the Wisconsin State Capitol but became law in March 2011.

Rubio's voice is so... what tension! (Neske Baerwaldt on violin.)
("La Lorona" is a famous song in Latin America about the ghost of a woman who is said to have been betrayed and threatened by her husband, killed her children and now mourns their death.)

simsa03 (simsa03@gnusocial.jp)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2024 07:34:45 JST simsa03 Here are two versions of the same Georgian peasant song:
♪ Hamlet Gonashvili, "Orovela" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExkXJcx7RZ4
which is tender, almost floating in the air, and
♪ Ciuri Mchedlidze, "Orovela" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nT1iivP6Ms
which is far more dramatic and poignant.
Georgian folk music is famous for its elaborate polyphony but one shouldn't underrate the richness of interpretation that is essential in the performance and lends texture and complexity to the song.
(Hamlet Gonashvili was my first encounter with Georgian folk music. His style has a mesmerizing effect on me.)

The album is from 1995. To me it was this song that introduced the open cadence in a call-response fashion (here to the slide guitar) to rock music. (I'm most probably wrong in this attritbution of origin.) Anyway, this specific sound sequence is echoed often later, e.g., in
♪ Gary Clark Jr., "Bright Lights" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ZeDn-hHGE (e.g., at 1:30)
and in various other songs.
