A Mixolydian what??
SAN ANSELMO — Echo Chamber Orchestra takes its inspiration from nature on June 13 with a composition about animals by Brian S. Wilson; CM von Weber's brilliant first clarinet concerto; and the Sixth "Pastoral" Symphony of Beethoven. Kyle Beard will be the clarinet soloist in von Weber.
Conceived as a set of etudes for young piano players, "A MODAL MENAGERIE - 7 Animals from 7 Continents in 7 Modes" features one animal from each continent set in one of the seven musical modes, giving each movement a unique soundscape. We have an African zebra in Dorian mode, for example, a panda from Asia in Mixolydian, and so on. Composed and orchestrated for ECHO Chamber Orchestra by Brian S. Wilson, A MODAL MENAGERIE received its premiere in 2025 by Petaluma pianist Marilyn Thompson. Read more https://www.echorchestra.com/june13
