To appear in March 2019
With a clever play on the words “Ancient Modes”, Graham Buckland
presents eight character pieces for piano duet which effectively
portray various mythical modes of transport and at the same time
are based on church modes.
The transport scenes are all about locomotion aptly described by the
music: you hear the flowing movement of the swimmers of Gilf Kebir
(known from the movie “The English Patient”), the gait of the
galloping Bucephalus and the marching step of the “March of the Ten
Thousand”.
The pronounced subtle humour of native Englishman Graham
Buckland is inscribed in these pieces which are of easy to moderate
technical difficulty.
• Character pieces based on 2 types of modes; modes of
transportation and church modes
• Piano duets ideal for teaching and student recitals
• Easy to moderate technical difficulty
