EUROPE COLLECTION
Stockholm, Sweden Feb. 9/75
1.
CHANGING OF THE PALACE GUARDS, with large audience.
mark * P.A. announcement marking beginning of ritual. [2:05]
mark * church bells ring and the trumpets call out as the action begins. [7:00]
COMMENTARY
1. Note emergence of guard footsteps from under first drum sequence. This sequence is basically an alternation between the announcer and the trumpeter of the guards blowing signals.
3&4. Girls walking across a street (no traffic).
6-10. Note aspiration effect of the two note motif: one seems to breathe in, the other out.
10. Located outside a movie theatre, across from a government building (possibly where there was a service for the blind).
