Legends of Courage

This courageous, forceful melody uses frequent doubling of sections to add strength and volume to the developing string orchestra. Legends of fearless bravery are heard in the determined theme, punctuated with heavy staccato accompaniments. Players will experience extended finger patterns and rising and falling dynamics that depict the inevitable defeats but also the glory of victory in battle. After a brief lyrical middle section, the steady march returns in the low strings, bringing the ensemble back to a triumphant conclusion.
