Description
The piece is inspired by a character of the Thai epic “Ramakien” (Ramayana), where Hanuman is one of the main characters. A powerful monkey and also the chief of Praram’s army. He is the son of the Wind God and an immortal. For Thai culture, Hanuman is a symbol of smartness, courage, fun and casanova (he has over 5,000 wives).
The theme is generated on 3 notes: Bb, C, Eb, and developed using augmentation, diminution and variation. Minor pentatonic scale is used in this piece with combination of the blues scale. The 3 notes, which are the main idea, appear throughout the piece.
