Persichetti Exercise 2 - 8 for Clarinet Quintet

Continuing with the Scale Materials Chapter in Persichetti's "20th Century Harmony" I wrote this Clarinet Quintet.  The prompt was "8.  Construct a solo clarinet line in the lydian mode supported by phrygian string quartet harmony.  Set both the melody and harmony on the tonal center Bb."  Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

This is a good motif, supported by interesting harmony! This would work well as a jazz piece. All you'd have to do is change up the harmony, and add some drums. But the rhythms and theme can remain the same!
