From the intensity of despair and despondency to the tranquility of peace and hope, this arrangement will challenge the musical maturity of your group. The opening violin solo leads to a range of textures and harmonic twists as the music takes the listener on a beautiful, yet intense emotional journey. Stunning. (4:15)
Raindrop Serenade for String Orchestra (Grade 1) by Lauren Bernofsky
This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement. (4:30)
