Ancient Days for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Ancient Days creeps in and rises to a crescendo with a driving, primordial melody. The work’s Dorian modality is emphasized by arpeggiated lower string accompaniment, while upper voices have an opportunity to incorporate a bit of third position skill within their feature. An optional tom-tom part is included.
Experience the charm of a bygone era with this collection of beloved classics arranged for a piano trio. Once widespread in exclusive hotels, luxury liners, and tranquil spa tea rooms, these pieces are now making a comeback. Highlights include Bucalossi’s lively “The Grasshopper’s Dance” and Duncan’s stirring “March” from A Little Suite, both featured in the BBC series Dr. Finlay’s Casebook. Enjoy the elegance and sophistication of these timeless works.
