Earthsongs
Dravidian Dithyramb
Andre de Quadros / Victor Paranjoti
S-42
SATB a cappella
The Dravidian Dithyramb embodies traces of ragas from the Carnatic music of South India, but it also bears an astonishing resemblence to the tarana - a form of Hindustani classical music which uses Persian and Arabic phonemes as nonsense syllables. See also M-24: ttbb and S-179: ssaa
