Zauerli: a measured, lingering type of Swiss yodeling featured in Werner Herzog's mesmerizing film HEART OFGLASS (the movie where he hired a hypnotist to put the cast and crew into a trance each day, but then he fired thehypnotist after a week and took over the job of entrancing everybody himself).

Cymbalom: a variation on the hammer-dulcimer mostly identified with Hungarian/Romani folk music, expanded andrefined into a concert instrument. It can be played very fast and wild, but can also sound elegiac and nostalgic.

Balalaika: the three-stringed, triangular, Russian form of the mandolin. In an orchestral setting, a large group of balalaikas creates an expansive, humming, winter-fantasy wall-of-sound.

Alpenhorn: traditionally, the most efficient way to communicate from one mountain village to another. They are usually about eight feet long.

Gregorian Chant: at a certain point in our story, we find ourselves in a monastery above a ski resort.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL takes place in an imaginary country in Mittel Europe about a hundred years ago. Wealways thought of this region as being a bit Czech, a bit Hungarian, a bit Polish, a bit Russian, a bit German -- and alsoa little bit 1930's movie-studio in Culver City. We started, however, in Paris, with our gifted French composer AlexandreDesplat, who incorporated all the sounds and forms above to make what we called "Zubrowkian" music: somethingvaguely familiar (Alexandre's musical voice is always unmistakeable), but nevertheless not quite like anything else.

A few discoveries Randall Poster and I gathered together which helped to inspire our score and colored the atmosphereof our movie:

1. Appenzeller Zuerli by the Os Schuppel Group2. Balalaika Favorites by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra3. The performances of the great Zimbalist Mr. Gianni Lincan

We also owe special thanks to our arranger/conductor Mark Graham and our music editor Yann McCullough for theirvery important contributions to this musical project.
