G. Schirmer Band-Orchestra
Ancient Desert Drone was composed for orchestra in 1940, at the request of Percy Grainger, who encouraged the idea of using a single pitch “drone” throughout the work (similar to Graingers own The ImmovableDo) and to whomthe piece is dedicated. While the work suggests an Eastern charm with its distinctive mode and primitive rhythms, Cowell himself stated there was no particular programmatic intent. This transcription for bandis an exotic and welcome addition to therepertoire for winds. Dur: 5:00
Recorded by the Trinity University Symphonic Wind Ensemble – James Worman, conductor
