Godowsky: Java Suite: III. Hari Besaar, The Great Day // Esther Budiardjo

The Java Suite (originally published as Phonoramas. Tonal journeys for the pianoforte) is a suite for solo piano by Leopold Godowsky, composed between 1924 and 1925. It consists of twelve movements and is influenced by gamelan music.

Godowsky writes in the notes: "From plantations and hamlets natives flock to the town that is the center of the bright, joyous celebrations, native, harmless amusements. They throw themselves eagerly into the whirl of festivities, enjoying the excitement and animation. Actors, musicians, dancers and fakirs contribute to the pleasures of the people and to the picturesqueness of the scene."
