-Outside at break, about 8:45 PM. The sun has set, but the sky is still quite bright, fading to dusky blue as I look to the East. The temperature is absolutely perfect. Not at all cool, with just the barest wisp of a breeze to aid my enjoyment of the evening. A small crowd is smiling about in the plaza, observed by a smaller group enjoying the balcony. I'd prefer it to be quiet, but instead the rumble of traffic on Bancroft competes with the rumble of heavy duty HVAC units in the surrounding buildings, setting up a busy bass continuo throb and counterthrob between the various noise elements while the laughter and conversation of the crowd dances on top. Music of the spheres? Not!+Outside at break, about 8:45 PM. The sun has set, but the sky is still quite bright, fading to dusky blue as I look to the East. The temperature is absolutely perfect.

 ICE's version of the _Rite of Spring_ was a revelation: by reducing the instrumentation to a spare baker's dozen, Colnot's arrangement strips the work to it's essential core: the piece came across to me as much more elemental and primal: far less powerful than the typical bombastic symphonic rendition, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. It will be quite interesting to hear how Iyer interprets this ritual against the Hindu Holi celebration in the second half! ICE's version of the _Rite of Spring_ was a revelation: by reducing the instrumentation to a spare baker's dozen, Colnot's arrangement strips the work to it's essential core: the piece came across to me as much more elemental and primal: far less powerful than the typical bombastic symphonic rendition, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.

 So what'd I think? It was good. Interesting! Engrossing to watch. Even more so to hear! In contrast to a few reviewers, I found the music to be quite complementary to the visual material; to describe it as inessential background is to presume that visual stimuli has some sort of preeminence over auditory stimuli. I really liked it when the ensemble evoked the folk music of Indian village drum and brass bands. It would be fun to experience this show again in a few years! So what'd I think? It was good.

-Prashant Bhargava's film was shot over the course of a single Holi festival in Mathura, a town in Uttar Pradesh, India. The accompanying composition was created by Iyer in collaboration with Bhargava, who cut his film in order to match their shared artistic vision of creating a response to Stravinsky through Indian eyes, as commisioned by Carolina Performing Arts. Iyer debuted the work at Beasley-Curtis Auditorium at Memorial Hall, UNC on Mar 26, 2013; as far as I know, the piece has lain dormant in the interim, but Iyer and ICE revived it for a national tour that began last fall and continues this spring.+Prashant Bhargava's film was shot over the course of a single Holi festival in Mathura, a town in Uttar Pradesh, India.
