Course-Analysis of the musical work MODE HALLES
Denis Bioteau, composer of this piece written for big band with strings consort and synthesizer violin, says that he wanted to concretize 25 years of reflections on the composition by creating a mix of styles and dynamics, between the “classical” and “popular” music.
He revisits the different trends of 20th century musical writing, associated with the energy of groove & improvisation of modern contemporary music.
