For Shaahin, Prelude and Rhythmic Study   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #16273 of 21439 |

Uploaded to my ZeBox page (with apologies to Gene) is a short
composition in honor of composer Shaahin Mohajeri, whose music is a
bridge between the best of Occident and Orient. Thanks, Shaahin.



"For Shaahin: Prelude and Rhythmic Study" --- santoor and small drum

http://zebox.com/jlsmith/music <http://zebox.com/jlsmith/music> (#29
down the list)



The Prelude is a santoor solo in 9/8 meter but with very free tempo; the
Study -- for santoor and drum -- is in a fast 11/8 meter. Realized with
Harmony Assistant software.



The gamut:

1/1

12/11

10/9

11/9

5/4

4/3

22/15

3/2

18/11

5/3

9/5

11/6



The mode used is a Phrygian-type on 3/2:

3/2

18/11

9/5

1/1

10/9

11/9

4/3

Nice piece, Jon...as always! I found the santoor sample a bit hard to swallow, esp. on repeated notes, where it sounded really annoyingly "xeroxed"...othere...
