Description

Doric Victory for cello, recorder and guitar
This is both:
1) a description of an actual victory, inspired by the winged goddess of victory - Nike - but with a gentle little dance of celebration in the interlude for which the cello is replaced by a descant recorder, representing, perhaps:
"the lovely chorus of the Karthaians the sons of Kranaus and in the pastimes of the Muses crowning Bacchylides of Ceos with many garlands." [Bacchylides, Epigrams 2 ],
and
2) a celebaration of the victory of the Dorian Mode in my music composition at the time.

The guitar part uses artificial and natural harmonics in the gentle interlude.

The music is performed in the audio sample by Chris Benson and David Solomons - sight-reading into an audio cassette machine in 1975.

The zip file contains the score and separate parts in pdf format.
