about

เสียงระฆังจากโบสถ์นี้ฟังดูบริสุทธิ์.. เหมือนกันทุกที่เลยนะ

The word Chiaroscuro is an Italian art expression for light and shadow, in fact it means the light conditions and their effects in painting.

The title refers to the wayang gedog which shows some scenes of the Javanese mythological Hindu epic which are performed by wayang puppets. The traditional ritual performances starts at midnight and lasts until dawn or morning.
The so called isorhytmic construction is always disturbed by hoquetus (specific rhythm form of Ars Nova, when the melody line is suddenly interruped, just like a hiccup). The continuous presence of these hoquetus makes the sacred pseudo-gamelan and pseudo-khmer music humorous and biting.

The opus is originally composed for percussion quintette or sextet but because of the logistics, the general lack of the precsribed percussion world, the lack of money and because it is difficult to find 6 excellent percussion artist at the same time some parts can be performed on prepared piano as well.
