Trek! - Herb Bassett
"Trek!" depicts three phases of a thrilling mountain bike ride: acceleration through the gears, tranquility of the ride, and an uphill climb and descent. While the eighth note remains constant throughout, changing meters, rising ostinati, and widening Doppler-shifts all imply acceleration leading to a break-neck downhill ride for a dynamic ending. Modal harmonies and an optimistic tone make "Trek!" fun to perform and exciting to hear! An energetic program selection or closer for concert or festival. Electrifying!
