Release Notes:
Works for Tabla is a recording that combines
ancient drumming traditions with a contemporary
composerÆs perspective. The seeds for this project
were planted many years ago in Idaho, when as a
teenager, composer Payton MacDonald first heard
recordings of classical Hindustani music performed
on tabla drums in his local public library. Since
that time, he has immersed himself in studying this
music and developing an impressive career as a
composer and performer.
MacDonald composed all of the works on this
recording, which incorporate the improvisatory
versatility and virtuosity characteristic of
classical tabla music. His three concertos for
Tabla and Percussion Quartet were composed between
2002 and 2004, and his solo Alap, Jor, Jhala was
composed between 2003 and 2005. They are performed
by Canadian Shawn Mativetsky, who met MacDonald
when they were studying tabla with the guru Pandit
Sharda Sahai. Together they are seeking to develop
a new kind of classical music that will stand the
test of time and engage many generations of
listeners.
