Star of the Sea

A beautiful and tranquil original work that gives the listener a feeling of being safely guided on a calm sea. Written in the key of B-flat, its calming yet soaring melodic lines, creative harmony, and full range of dynamics create a serene backdrop, while frequent use of divisi and counterpoint gives the ensemble a full and rich texture. Solo opportunities for violin, viola, and cello. An excellent work for developing tone, phrasing, ensemble playing, and overall musicianship.
