Modal Tune: Percussion 1, (Tambourine, Snare Drum, Triangle)

Echoes of ancient music are evident throughout Modal Tune. Renaissance modal scales and counterpoint, mixed with modern chords and personal sonorities, are at the core of the composition, creating a brilliant, but at the same time, serious style. The constant highlighting of the three main sections, (woodwinds, brass, and percussion), the use of irregular rhythms, and the moving 2nd movement make this a truly enjoyable piece for audiences, players, and conductors alike.
