Description

Jody Diamond (b. 1953) is a composer, performer, and scholar who has specialized in music for Indonesian gamelan for close to forty years. Her compositions are played internationally; as a vocalist, she performs both experimental and traditional American and Javanese music. Diamond notes: "I composed these pieces for an American audience. My intention was to create for my own community a gamelan music that they could hear with a sense of musical feeling and connection. By using songs that would be familiar to them and could be followed through the musical journey of each piece, I also hoped to reveal gamelan structures, treatments, and variations that had evolved in the tradition of origin, thus creating not only a singularly American experience, but a deeper appreciation for the gamelan itself as a creative orchestra."
