Description
SKU: CN.S11224
Composed by Bruce Fraser. Band Music. Score only. Duration 4:30. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11224).Recall the days of waiting on the modem? The opening of this work imitates the tones and burbling noises of a modem or fax. A lovely ballad follows before quickly returning to the previous material.
The idea for this work came from listening to my modem while logging on to the Internet. I realize that some modems log on silently, but the opening of this work imitates the tones and burbling noises of a modem or fax. There were two musical features I picked our - the pitches of the dialing tones are subsequently used to create the melodies, and the syncopated falling octave figure is used in accompaniment figures. The opening Allegro will work at a faster tempo if desired, but make sure that clarity is maintained. The middle section should be carefully balanced and allowed to flow.
