Product Description
Seven Modes, Seven Duets is a duet series for wind (band) instruments. The duets have been written to be a comfortable range for any of the instruments (minus horn part, which is free due to the range issues). Each mode has its own unique sound and special effort has been made to accentuate the colors from each district combination of notes and the harmonies they produce (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian).
The duets are mostly on an average high school level player, but can be a great challenge for younger players. More advanced musicians may find use specifically in the exploration of melody/harmony in each particular mode.
Best instruments for use:
Flute
Oboe
Clarinet
Bass Clarinet
Bassoon
Trumpet
Trombone
Baritone
Tuba
Mallets (xylophone, marimba, bells if players 8vb)
