Francis Feese - Contrasts in E Minor
This unique and interesting work is divided into three sections. It begins with a catchy, "spy-sounding" opening theme, which is contrasted with an emotional slower section, and ends with an exciting 6/8 time signature galop that features the lower strings. It is standard string orchestra literature that comes highly recommended for intermediate level groups.

Mark Williams - Sailors' Song
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.7 месяцев назад
This vigorous original work cleverly uses open strings, plus only the first notes learned on the D and A strings, to evoke the sometimes charming, sometimes rough world of the sailor at sea. Open double stops reflect the raw power of the ocean waves. Mostly in E Dorian and Aeolian, this modal work has a sophisticated sound that's very easy to play for beginning strings. Correlated with Strictly...

Kirt Mosier - Overture to the Wind

Expressing the many different moods and events of a storm, the opening begins with the violins playing a gripping ostinato pattern suggesting that a storm is coming. The first two themes convey the erratic tendency of powerful gusty winds. The storm moves into a peaceful lull with a melancholy third theme played by a solo violin and viola. The storm then grows in intensity as the final statemen...

      stagger bowing means to hold the string out longer than usual until the composer gives you the signal to stop
