This
Horn duet contains the important work:
"Mandala study #1", which was inspired by the interval studies of
Pauline Oliveros.
In
a mandala, I limit myself to just a couple of melodic intervals.
In this duet I use minor sixths and half steps. Plus I use an "In passing rule":
you may jump back through the previous tone to a note of acceptable
interval without repeating the previous tone. So when I start this
duet in horn 1 with C# - A - F, I jump back to C# because of this
rule, I could have gone C# - A - F then to G# this way also this
lends itself to hyperbola shapes, which I like.
