Hyperion

Go on an exciting and cinematic journey inspired by Hyperion, one of the mighty Titans of Greek mythology. Using some shifting in violin 1 and cello, a powerful theme in A minor builds over energetic rhythms in the low strings, with ascending scalar passages that climb and soar to the heavens. Students encounter an engaging mix of energetic passages filled with staccatos, accents, and sweeping lyrical lines. A strong choice for the high school orchestra looking for a dramatic concert closer.
