Aria for String Orchestra
Publisher Desc.
Arias are melodic vocal works found in operas. They serve to both heighten drama in operas and highlight the talents of the performers who sing them. For centuries, composers like Handel, Mozart, and Puccini have used arias to feature famous singers, to the delight of audiences.
Aria for String Orchestra was composed to highlight the artistry of Rachael Gladys Altekruse and her students. Operatic style melodies are passed across the ensemble, providing performers in each section opportunities to showcase their skills and step into the spotlight. Loosely based on da capo aria form, all voices unite to display the strength of the orchestra when the opening melody is reintroduced (in the da capo section).
