Roaches In The Pantry for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
A delightful piece in D Major/D Modal, ABA form, Roaches in the Pantry uses repeated eighth notes at a fast tempo to give a scuttling effect. The middle, mysterioso, section requires cellos to play easy double stops of fifths with upper strings in rhythmic unison. Includes 3rd violin and piano parts. Great for achieving stable ensemble playing and encouraging a full tone.
Carl Bohm (1844 - 1920) was a renowned composer and teacher for violinists. His famous pieces, "Moto Perpetuo" and "Galop," showcase double semiquavers and highlight the cellos in the latter. The work is shared around for everyone to shine.
