2020 New Releases for Orchestra
The joyous nature of this original work for string orchestra is mainly achieved with an infectious tied rhythm pattern. A contrasting middle section features bright pizzicato against a bass line before catapulting back into the jubilant melody once again. An excellent choice for festival or concert programs any time of year.
A quiet opening hints at a growing storm as a powerful melody rises through driving rhythms and a syncopated motif in B minor. As the intensity grows, icy droplets fall in a pizzicato section, leading to turbulent winds of rising and falling melodic lines between upper and low strings. The forceful melody weaves through every section of the orchestra. Exciting!

This traditional Ethiopian folk song is an ancient warrior cry. The pounding of the drums stirs up a sense of anticipation and bravery - a call to war heard in the driving percussion. In addition to playing double-stops and heavy accented rhythms, players will get to practice reading music in cut time. Powerful!
