- "I'm going to try two short works. The first is Borra Chambo's prelude to his masterwork, Dissolution by Self-Intention."
- ―Zan Yant introduces Chambo's work
Borra Chambo was a musician who worked at around the time in which hyperspace travel was introduced, a period considered a golden age for classical music.[2] During that time, Chambo composed the piece known as Dissolution by Self-Intention, which included a prelude. During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Zabrak surgeon Zan Yant considered Dissolution by Self-Intention Chambo's masterwork and played the prelude to it on his quetarra, a type of musical instrument.[1] In 20 BBY,[3] Yant played the piece—crediting Chambo—in front of a crowd in the cantina built in the Republic medical base known as Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7, which he worked in on the planet Drongar.[1]
Behind the scenes
Borra Chambo was first mentioned in MedStar I: Battle Surgeons, a novel written by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry and published in 2004 as the first installment of the MedStar Dulogy.[1]
