Alfred 22331 "B-Suite" for Strings for String Orchestra

This triad of B's explores a variety of styles, meters and modalities. Be-Boppin' Bourée is a juxtaposition of 17th century bourée and 20th century swing styles, complete with walking bass line. Bittersweet Berceuse weaves between major and minor, giving an uncertain sense of modality. Brazilian Bagatelle is characterized by Latin American rhythms and is infused with quartal harmonies.
