Mysh Marsh

Burly mice in warm fur hats stomp with deliberate steps through the Mysh marsh (Russian Mouse March). Violas and cellos move between divisi, pizzicato, and arco in the key of D minor with extended finger patterns (with optional shifting) and dynamic contrast. Upper and lower strings pass the melody back and forth, keeping those serious rodents moving along with counter-rhythms and dramatic crescendos. Set of score and parts: 8-8-8-8-4
