MARTHA MAVROIDI: NEW SONGS IN MODAL MUSIC – ORCHESTRATION AND COMPOSITION
This workshop will explore ways of orchestrating and composing in modal music. Focusing on melodic and rhythmical patterns commonly used in the music of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans, we will try to use these patterns as starting points to create larger music schemes. A short musical phrase or rhythmic pattern can create infinite variations. We will use these musical “seeds” and seek ways to transfigure an initial inspiration into a fully-fledged composition or into a dynamic improvisation. At the same time we will look into the intricacies of orchestrating and even introducing harmony in a modal music environment.
This workshop is open to all instrumentalists and singers.
