In classic Greek mythology, Aquila (Latin for eagle) was a powerful bird that carried the thunderbolts of Zeus, the god of war. This majestic name was also given to a northern constellation that extends across the celestial equator. The lofty flight of the stately eagle is heard in this original work for developing string orchestra. Set in B minor, the theme is stated and developed first in violins accompanied by a staccato ostinato. Rhythmic phrases alternate with lyrical slurred patterns that rise and fall like the soaring eagle. Students will encounter easy dotted quarter rhythms, two-note slurs, and a variety of dynamics in this excellent concert selection.
