Medieval Kings for String Orchestra by Soon Hee Newbold

This dynamic and riveting work depicts an ancient battle scene or ferocious weather system. A lyrical melody contrasts with an intense rhythmic groove complete with optional percussion. A great work to expose younger players to programmatic music!

Opening with the powerful sound of open 5ths, this work transports the listener back to ancient times and life in a magnificent castle. Experience the festivals and celebrations that would often occur as the infectious melodies work their way through all sections of the orchestra. Exciting and jovial! (1:30)
