Title: Lotus on the Nile
Composer: Douglas Irvine
Performers: Unknown
Culture of Origin: Egypt
Instrumentation: bass lyre, bells, shoulder harp, clappers, pan pipes, double oboe
Douglas Irvine composed this piece of music that contains a very complex instrumentation. In the background is a calm droning sound that acts as a pedal point for the piece. Also in the background is an instrument that if listened to closely shifts back and forth between the left and right speaker, creating a sound that almost makes your head spin.

Colin, strive to incorporate the readings into your posts. Why do you choose the examples you do? How does this music reflect or combat what we have discussed in class?
