Iannis Xenakis - Jonchaies

Written in 1977, Jonchaies roughly translates to "rushes, reeds."

Part 1



Did you hear the trace references to Javanese gamelan music, Jaws?

Part 2



Xenakis is one of my favorites and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite Xenakis works.

(Thanks to bannan61 for YouTubing this wonderful performance by the Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra.)
