This very easy tripartite form composition contrasts the Dorian mode, which is reminiscent of the Renaissance period, with major, which suggests a more modern style. Terrific programming with a piece that is educationally and musically sound. [2:32]

COMMAND Z
– Anne McGinty.
Everyone familiar with Mac computers will recognize the title as "undo" - thus reversing the previous action. In music composition, the concept of going backwards is called retrograde, and is the backward reading of a melody. Each phrase is answered melodically in retrograde, thus "undoing" the previous phase. A mental challenge and a beautiful, sensitive piece. [2:33]
