As Evening Falls for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Expressive, legato melody lines highlight this romantic work in 3/4 time, giving all sections a chance to shine. The key oscillates between D major and B minor (modal) and uses the notes string players learn first and know best. It’s quiet and reflective, a nice change of pace!
