Description
Quiet Village is one of several exotic pieces composed by Les Baxter for orchestra and recorded on his album "Le Sacre Du Sauvage" (Ritual of the Savage). This is a piano arrangement of that piece. The description provided on the sheet music for this pieces is as follows:
"The jungle grows more dense as the river boat slowly makes its way into the deep interior. A snake slithers into the water, flushing a brilliantly plumaged bird who soars into the clearing above a quiet village. Here is a musical portrait of a tropical village -- deserted in the mid-day heat."
This adorably kitschy piece dates from 1951.
