that treats the subject of what happens after death

anthology of world music: the music of tibetan buddhism
rounder records - 1999
(the unesco collection, originally recorded in may & june 1961)



the chant pivots around a deep monotone, whose center sometimes rises a little. the bodies of the monks sway slightly as they chant.
from notes for release

    Thanks. I also tried to download the Jimmy Giuffre box, but the second link only get to 30mb and stops. Wondering if you could try re-uploading? Thanks so much. Hope you are well.

    These recordings are amazing, certainly as my own first education in these traditions. A supplement to this, this time from Bhutan:
    Bhutan: TIBETAN BUDDHIST RITES FROM THE MONASTERIES OF BHUTAN (Sub Rosa, 2cd, 2005)
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B4R2G44X
    (EAC-->flac/cue/log + a couple covers)

    Recordings by John Levy c. 1971, originally the first three volumes of a short series by Lyrichord. (I think Sub Rosa also reissued the fourth and final volume, of folk and instrumental music.) As far as a I know, this is out of print from the label, for the moment.
