Full of joy and optimistic feeling, this original piece presents two contrasting themes. Moving from the initial rhythmic, fiddle-style section into the warm lyricism of an old Celtic air and back to the rhythmic theme, all parts are musically engaging and encourage cohesive energy in the ensemble. Some syncopation, some third position for the 1st violins, and rapid string crossing figures provide just the right amount of challenge. Clever bow technique and fun, rolled into one!
