This light, incidental music provides a wonderful change of pace in two contrasting movements. Beginning with the lyrical Pavane, students explore wonderful harmonic changes without emphasis on technique. As the second movement begins, a delightful carefree character comes out and is sure to charm your audience and provide many wonderful musical opportunities for your students.(1.00)
An exciting piece that explores self-paced developing music for literally any combination of instruments. Inspired by Terry Riley's In C, the piece includes short fragments that performers move through at their own pace. Explore pacing, development and orchestration with this piece that works for literally any possible combination of instruments!
Commissioned by the National String Project Consortium, this gorgeous lyrical work can be performed alone as an intermediate level piece, or with multi-level supplemental parts (available separately) for beginning and developing string students. Orchestrated to celebrate inclusion and diversity, the multi-level option is designed to sound far "greater than" the intermediate version alone. Not your traditional festival orchestra piece by any means. (Grade 3, Dur 5:40)
