Gordon gives a link to a web page for an organization called "Global Village Construction Set.
Does anybody know what song is the background for the video with the three young men standing on a home made tractor? It's played on some kind of wooden xylophone type instrument. I've heard snatches of this piece before and I love it.
If anybody can provide the title to that piece then GEM of TIKI (with your help) will have made a positive contribution to the universe, at least my part of it, and that's always nice. |
Sounds more like steel drums to me. |
It's apparently not a steel drum. At least, the full title of one of the versions is:
Vier Stücke für Xylophon: Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler (1536) für Sopran-, Altxylophon, Castagnetten, kleine Trommel, Schellentrommel und Pauken, Musik für Kinder III, Nr. 15, 1952
My German's a little rusty, but I think that translates as "No steel drums".
But hey, wouldn't that song sound grand on steel drums?

Thanks everybody.
