Beschreibung
This is part of "A Modal Suite for 'Cello Duet". The suite is designed to introduce the student to the various and aurally interesting modalities of music. Throughout the suite the aspiring 'cello student will encounter both new time signatures and extended techniques. It is the desire of the composer to present this suite as a learning experience while at the same time creating interesting music for the student to master. Each of the seven pieces in this suite is in a different mode -Locrian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Ionian, Phrygian, Lydian and Dorian - and together the present the student with the seven diatonic modes. This piece is in the Ionian mode.
I hope that the students who play these pieces will find as much enjoyment in them as I have had in the composing.
