Dorian Blue

Here is another great song in our popular musical concepts category. This time, we are singing about musical modes. Well, one in particular - Dorian. The Dorian mode has found many interesting uses in classical and modern music. Several recognizable songs have been written in it, such as "Eleanor Rigby," "Scarborough Fair," "Purple Haze," and "A Horse With No Name," just to name a few.

This song features a lovely string section with violin and cello solos played beautifully. The melody is rather haunting and pensive, as are the lyrics. "Dorian Blue" would work great in the classroom as a learning tool, but it would also be wonderful in just about any performance setting. (from Music K-8, Vol. 30, No. 1)
