Celtic Dreams for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
This gorgeous piece in D minor is not a jig or a reel, but a very flowing original melody that evokes images of the sea. First violins must play in 3rd and 4th position while lower strings play the wide-spread broken chords which give this work its rolling, wave-like feel.
