Adventure in India was written to evoke the musical styles heard in "Bollywood" movie soundtracks. This style of music has strong Indian folk influence, but a variety of other world music is incorporated into the piece. This makes the piece fresh and different from the normal beginning string pieces, it truly has the flavor of music from India.
Adventure in India was written to evoke the musical styles heard in “Bollywood” (the Indian version of Hollywood) movie soundtracks. This style of music has a strong Indian folk influence, but a variety of world musics are incorporated, Western popular music styles in particular. Strive to perform the accents and accompanying rests as these will highlight the syncopation that is typical in this style and will also add excitement, interest, and groove to your performance. All best wishes and safe travels on your adventure!
