	Lou Harrison - Drums Along The Pacific/Serenado - Stylus Magazine

		The liner notes point out that even though it is written in a traditional form, Harrison uses a triple meter instead of the duple meters of gamelan music, allowing this melancholy piece to maintain a calm sense of flow.
		The William Winant Percussion Group bashes away on a panoply of percussion in lively works whose shifting textures exploit the sonic possibilities of everything from water buffalo bells and woodblocks to brake drums (who carry the melody on many of the pieces) and glasses.

		Just to the left of the main entrance is the subtly lit gamelan room--its official name is the Ives Room--its ample floor area covered with bronze, iron, wood, and bamboo instruments, all built by Lou's late partner, William Colvig, who died in March.
		In the garden, Lou shows me a fine growth of English roses, these being raised not only for their looks but to ensure a supply of rose hips for rose-hip tea and jam.
		Because the organ is a sustaining tonal instrument, and much of the percussion I wished to use was to be of abstract sound without specified fixed pitch, I felt that an intermediate group of percussion instruments of fixed pitch ought to be used.

		All three of the works on this album feature the estimable percussionist William Winant, whom I once got to observe up close at a most curious gig involving Koreans singing Bach (long story).
		The second movement is a tender, internal tribute to William Colvig, and the performance is touchingly personal.
