Composed by Susan H. Day. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles; String Orchestra. Highland/Etling String Orchestra. Form: Ballade. Score. 12 pages. Highland/Etling #00-35973S. Published by Highland/Etling (AP.35973S). UPC: 038081411804. English.
As the title suggests, this piece offers an opportunity for players to create a rich and elegant sound by using long, full bows with slurred note passages. Written in 3/4 time using the keys of C and D, there is a short solo section to allow your 1st chair players to shine. All parts stay in 1st position except the 1st violins who have a few notes in 3rd position. There are some accidentals, pizzicato and divisi throughout, and all parts share the melodic lines. A beautiful piece for developing expressive playing in your group!
