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.
Skip Henderson/ arr. Larry Moore
Based on the traditional tune Fisher's Hornpipe and heard in the blockbuster film Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest
This work by Hanno Haag features complex and simple harmonies between the Violin and Viola parts.
