Dorian Dialogue is a concert piece for string ensembles set in the Dorian mode. The original melodies are evocative of English folk melodies. The first theme is rustic in nature and performed with gusto, while the contrasting second theme flows in a singing style. A perfect selection to highlight your ensemble in festival performance and help you teach simple sixteenth note figures.
Dorian Dialogue is a concert piece for string ensembles with at least two years of instruction. Owing to the setting in the Dorian mode, the melodies, while original, may strike some as being evocative of English folk melodies. The first theme is rustic in nature and should be performed with gusto. The contrasting second theme (m.38) should flow in a singing style. Balance is critical when the two themes are heard simultaneously beginning in m. 54. First violin players who are capable of playing 8va at mm. 57–61 should do so at the “optional” indication.
