Originating more than 400 years ago, Paloyoloyo is an extract from the “Birdsong” cycle of the Cahuilla tribe from the Mojave and Sonoran Desert regions of Southern California. Imitating bird songs, performers enter quietly and randomly before a haunting melody fragment appears and is passed through several sections of the band. Rattle and wind chimes help create the desert vista conjured by this beautiful piece. (6:40)
