A New Dawn for String Orchestra Level 2
A New Dawn is a lilting and joyful work that celebrates new life, growth, and new beginnings. Written in a Neo-Classical style, this melodic piece spreads the wealth among the different sections of the orchestra, giving everyone a chance to shine. Weaving back and forth between the main theme and more lyrical sections in the relative minor key, A New Dawn winds up on a positive note with the final recapitulation of the main theme.
From its opening chords to its strong finish, Drive races forward, alternating between syncopated rhythms and soaring melodies. Beginning in the key of A minor, two opposing melodic patterns emerge. The use of silence becomes an effective change of pace as the piece modulates to B minor, recapping familiar motives to a lively finish with all forces at fortissimo! (3:22)
