Londonderry Air for String Orchestra

This gorgeous string work would be appropriate for any concert, but would be especially fitting in a memorial concert. Starting with a haunting piano chord progression the solo piano leads to a melancholic melody in the violins. The B section then gives the cellos a chance to show off their abilities to emote. After the piece builds to an intense forte it gradually fades back into the opening chord pattern. This unusually beautiful string work will leave your audience moved emotionally and impressed with your groups ability to play with great sensitivity and expressiveness. (3:49)

In this wonderfully evocative piece of music Bobrowitz describes a deep water dive to find a long lost city. This compelling musical journey conveys a sense of ever-deepening awe at the magical underwater seascape. All sections of the orchestra contribute to the melodic fabric of this unique musical journey. (4:16)

Guilt, regret, anger and mourning… those who remain after tragedy strikes are sometimes overlooked, but this musical memoir remembers and honors the hearts that remain but feel a piece of them has passed away through tragedy. The heartfelt melody is woven with stunning harmonies, intense climaxes and serene tranquility. “Hearts Remaining” will challenge and inspire young musicians to think, feel and play deeply, from the heart, empathizing with those… who remain. (Grade 2.5, Dur 3:24)
