Description
Ombres Chinoises is dedicated to my father, and was inspired by his shadow puppets. The special puppet techniques that he used in his most impressive show, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, resembled animation that is now done on computers, but which he performed in real time using specially-engineered slides and two projectors. A photo of the slide where Sir Gawain vanquishes the dragon appears on the cover of this score.

At the time that I wrote Ombres Chinoises, I was fascinated with French, and the title is the French translation of “Shadow Puppets.” At the same time, I was studying sitar in California with Amiya Dasgupta, and I had observed that the basic scale in Raga Kalyana and the Lydian mode are the same, so that inspired me to take off from Raga Kalyana. Well, really, it’s more Lydian than Indian, with a bit of atonality here and there, so perhaps it’s a bit autobiographical, after all.

The first section of Ombres Chinoises has a lot of short quick notes, staccato, pizzicato and marimba. The second section is slow and fragile, without a metered sense of rhythm, and the flute and marimba players imitate the viola by playing arco on the marimba in parts of it. The third section is quite fast and whimsical. (1974)
