Doppler Effect

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Violoncello, Contrabass, Piano — The term "Doppler effect" describes the aural phenomenon of pitch produced by a moving source changing relative to position, like a siren passing you on the street. Sean O'Loughlin uses this fascinating concept to construct an original composition that uses instances of this effect. A broad melody acts as a connective element in the piece, with a multitude of teaching opportunities for dynamics and musicality.
