New age / space music
For
solo French horn With a background of tuned wind chimes.
Four
a number
of years all my charts, scales studies and interval studies
into the patterns created by the scales suggested by the I
Ching were catalogued into opus 99. It will take a very special
request for me to release the sheet music for my 64 Arpeggios.
These
64 arpeggios are all the same pattern – presenting the
overtone series of the scale tones and cycling through the
pattern back to the fundamental up one octave from the initial
tone.
Each of
my I Ching scales has a home or fixed key, and these arpeggios
are each played in a tempo relative to the vibration rate of
its key. These are then presented on the CD so they gradually
slow down over the 158 minutes.
The wind chimes
chosen only from the tones from within the scale, are improvised
over the horn recording. The opening of the Oregon Caves is pictured
on the album cover.
