Pentatonic Overture
This engaging overture for string orchestra is built around a D pentatonic scale. The second violins and violas play in unison, while the cellos and basses provide the bass line in octaves. This scoring allows a clean, clear texture and a good balance of parts. The pentatonic scale gives the piece an Asian flavor, with easy reading due to the limited number of notes, which in turn encourages more attention to intonation.
