Built from primitive sounding rhythms and modal harmonies, this intriguing work opens with an ominous introduction that leads into the first statement of the main theme. Educational opportunities abound in this energetic piece, including some easy two-part counterpoint between the 1st violins and 2nd violins/viola. Primitivo, which is correlated to Orchestra Expressions Book 1, or to most first year method books, is certain to capture the imaginations of students and audiences alike! (2:10).
