Dotonbori Dash

This work illustrates an adventurous chase through the Dotonbori Market, a lively and colorful marketplace in Osaka, Japan.  As the caper traverses in and out of doorways and through packed crowds, each section of the orchestra gets a prime opportunity to display their skills on either long, cascading melodies or contemporary bassline parts. The col legno and slapping effects enhance the rhythms and texture.  A high energy piece that builds to a rousing conclusion!
