Sweeping melodies punctuated by energetic rhythmic motives make this original overture perfect for concert and contest. Observing traditional overture form, the main theme is set first as a chorale, then in a spirited allegro. Feature your outstanding players with an optional violin and cello solo! Emerging musicians utilize pizzicato, shifting for violin 1, and polyphonic textures over long crescendos to easily create a sound that is mature and sophisticated.
