Re: 7-tet trio

Hi there,

I've written a trio in 7-tet for violin, viola and glockenspiel.

http://tunesmithy.netfirms.com/tunes/tunes.htm

First movement is in 3/8, has a rather independent glockenspiel part in the
middle following its own way with waves of sound, gradually getting louder
and louder a bit like the sea, which the other instruments basically ignore,
but it sounds okay somehow.

They are joined for the second movement (in 7/4) by a cellist who clearly
is a very individual character, and takes a little while to get
into the spirit of things. However, has a very interesting
idea to contribute, which is repeated over and over, and the
others eventually take up on it.

Third movement is a very conventional seeming 4/4 somewhat after style
of Haydn. You'd hardly think that the parallel thirds are actually
11/9s (pretty close) and the cadences are III to I (11/9 taking place
of 3/2) rather than V to I.

Last movement is in a lyrical 11/4.

More to come - I've taken a couple of days off to do some composing
and plan to do some in a new 11-limit / 13-limit scale I invented with
seven notes and in the Chopi scale.
