A tonal piece based on an unusual mode inspired by Peter Mennin.
It was more a technical exercise but not being as clever as Mennin I had to reject all but the slow movement (submitted here). It's also more true to the mode.
The atmosphere has a 'lost.ness' about it probably because the mode can't be resolved easily.
It pits a string orchestra muted throughout against unmuted string soloists.
If you can give it a listen many thaks and any comment would be appreciated.
