This three-part series is devoted to Luis Buñuel's 1952 classic "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe', starring Dan O'Herlihy as Crusoe and Jaime Fernandez as Friday.

The music has a suitably adventurous and sea-going spirit, and is appropriately by a composer from an exotic island. The pieces in each of the three sections all have something to do with islands. The music I used for Part II video is by modern Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu and English Baroque composer Jeremiah Clarke. Takemitsu's music employs exotic percussion instruments from various islands around the world, including Japan, Bali, and the Caribbean. Clarke's music is from a semi-opera entitled 'The Island Princess'. The pieces in each of the three sections all have something to do with islands. Part III reprises the music by Takemitsu and Lilburn. ------------------------------- *Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
