"Gamuilleann" by Abigail Smith

Gamuilleann is an uplifting, melodic work written to celebrate the beautiful and generous sharing of knowledge between the Irish people and the Indonesian people through the medium of music.

There are five sections in this work. The players add variations as the work moves through the “iråmå” (varying tempos and levels of complexity). The ensemble can interpret the music using traditional Indonesian “garap”
(realisations). Similarly, in Irish traditional music, the player interprets the notes using ornamentation and their own personal style developed from years of performance.

Composing a work to be performed by my gamelan colleagues, I wanted to harness their skills and knowledge. I also wanted Mark to add the richness of his expertise to the performance by interpreting the music using Irish traditional ornamentation and techniques.

Highlighting the rich traditions of both cultures, Gamuilleann celebrates the skills of the players involved, and the sharing of knowledge, and the ability of music to bring us together to create something truly unique and in the moment.
