Quiet Village
"Quiet Village" is an orchestral pop instrumental that was written and originally performed by Les Baxter in 1951. In the liner notes to his album, ''Ritual of the Savage (Le sacre du sauvage)'', Baxter described the themes he was conveying in the work:〔Baxter, Les (1952). "Ritual of the Savage (Le sacre du sauvage)" (notes ). Capitol Records.〕
== Cover Versions ==
In 1957, Martin Denny released a cover of the song featuring exotic instruments and sounds that made it to number four on the pop singles chart on June 1, 1959 and number eleven on the R&B chart. Denny also recorded a stereo version of the song in 1959, a bossa nova version in 1964, and a version performed on a Moog synthesizer in 1969.
In 1977, The Ritchie Family recorded a disco version and added vocals. The single was included on their ''African Queens'' album. Along with the album's title track and "Summer Dance", "Quiet Village" hit number one for three weeks in 1977. However, unlike the Martin Denny version, The Ritchie Family recording did not chart on the pop singles chart. It did peak at #68 on the R&B singles chart.
In 1993, influential noise artist Boyd Rice and writer/publisher Adam Parfrey released a comedic version of the song entitled "Quiet Village Idiot" under the moniker "The Tards".
