"The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" is a three part instrumental from Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album. All three parts are written by Nick Mason following the structure of the album in which each band member made their own composition. Like the majority of songs on the album, it is a highly experimental track and is divided into parts: Entrance, Entertainment and Exit.
The name refers to the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, who was the first minister of the Sultan.
"Entrance" consists of a short flute melody, followed by a drum roll and cymbal, comprising the first minute. "Entertainment" follows, containing a variety of percussion, including the standard kit and tympani. A drone is made out of a heavily reverbed tympani, followed by tape loops of drum rolls on the different parts of the drum kit and a drum solo. The third portion, "Exit", concludes the piece with several flutes in harmony for the final 40 seconds.
"Entertainment" was one of the many tracks which were played at some point or another in the concert piece "The Man and the Journey" under the name "Doing It!" Others included "Syncopated Pandemonium", "Up the Khyber", and "Party Sequence", as all of these prominently feature drums.
