Five Improvisations on Exotic Scales

Five Improvisations on Exotic Scales

Robert Russell Bennett

Composed for the Sagul Trio, which premiered music by several mid-20th century composers. It was played by them on 14 February at Town Hall, New York City, as part of radio station WNYC�s 1947 American Music Festival. The use of non-diatonic scales was probably rooted in Bennett�s study of the Greek modes with Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) twenty years earlier. Each movement is preceded by an intonation or statement of its �exotic� scale.
