Fanfare for Strings (Full Performance Set)

Fanfare for Strings began as an exercise in modal writing. The intent was to create a piece that utilized all seven modes on the tone D beginning with the “darkest” (Locrian) and progressing through each one until we reach the “lightest” (Lydian). The theme goes through the different modal changes as the piece progresses. While this work did not originally begin as a fanfare, the majestic character of its theme and its quick transitional process through the modes readily suggested its final form.”Pasquale Tassone Duration: 2:30
