The "Meridian Smith" Theme


(instrumental)

words from Adi Da's The Mummery Book
performance: January, 1995— Naitauba
(with Adi Da attending)
music by Chris Tong
(rough cut from the rehearsal tape)

A version of this instrumental theme would often be played whenever Meridian Smith came on stage. This tune was written with an Irish lilt, meant to suggest a "leprechaunish" playfulness. It was also written in waltz time which always is a bit off balance (since it has three beats, but we have two legs).
