Pulau Dewata (“Isle of the gods”, in Balinese) bears the mark of Vivier’s trip in Bali, in 1977. As he explains in his notes, he “wanted to write a piece filled with Bali’s spirit: dance, rythm, but above all an explosion of obvious and simple life”. No specific instrumentation was given on the original score: it was instead specified “for any combination of instruments”.
