Modern Music for Percussion

«Prison Song» was composed in 1971 (specifically for this recording), based on «The Leg-Irons» (from the Prison Diary of Ho Chi Minh). «Seasons» was composed in 1970 in two versions (four performers or one performer), then revised in 1971 (the version presented here). The revised version was first performed by Stomu Yamash'ta in Paris at the concert of the Journees de Musique Contemporaine in 1971. All instruments made by Francois and Bernard Baschet. «Turris Campanarum Sonantium» was composed in December 1970 (specifically for Stomu Yamash'ta).
