Calutions

Possible performance notes: Calutions is a made up word that plays nicely with its antonym of concoction. It is a collection of complementary flavors.

The origin of the word came from a large spice market located in New York City called Kalustyan's. This piece is a collection of modes and scales that have a main stepwise theme, but enters in many different variations in styles.

theme :  March in B major

A; minor variation in B

B; waltz in B Dorian

C; Taqsim in Phrygian 

D; Fantasia in B lydian

E: folk dance in mixolydian

F; sinister March in Locrian

G; variation in E  Major Pentatonic 

H; Gagaku in minor Pentatonic

I; variation in suspended Pentatonic

J; shuffle in blues pentatonic

K; folk dance in dominant Pentatonic

L: Taqsim in A harmonic minor

M; kinda maqsum in double harmonic minor

O; Tarantella in A octatonic 

Hi @Fruit hunter!

The whole piece has wonderful changes of orchestral timbre fitting for each dances. I like how you use B as the tonic for different modes, then E and then A and lastly D as the fundamental note, under the circle of 5th. The whole piece thus becomes a whole bazaar of different cultural dances with fully apt harmony, scale, rhythm, color etc for each dance, but the main theme of the repeated notes is easily recognizable. Thx for sharing!
