Perpetual Fiddle Motion By Balmages (FJH)
Perpetual Fiddle Motion by Brian Balmages Gr2.5
Feature a guitar soloist or any member of the orchestra (or even a combination of players!). Inspired by the Tango-influenced music of Astor Piazzola, this work paints a portrait of a sleepy, late night in Brazil as a lone tango dancer walks the streets. Every member of the orchestra has the solo printed on the back of their section part, giving directors incredible flexibility with choosing a soloist or combination of soloists. A powerful and beautiful work.

This authentic and vibrant work brings the sound and spirit of Mariachi to the string orchestra! Complete with strumming passages, catchy syncopated figures, and energetic melodies, the piece also includes parts for an optional guitar ensemble to really add some flavor! Many principal players have solo opportunities in this passionate, colorful salute to traditional Mexican music. Unique and a ton of fun! (3:00)
This outstanding pair of contrasting movements moves from a plaintive and pleading Larghetto to an Allegro with all the cheer and sparkle one can imagine. An exceptional opportunity to work on the music of Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities for musical development! (5:15)
