Troubled Waters

Set sail on a stormy adventure with this exciting and challenging piece. With a tonality that is exclusively in D minor, the ensemble gets to experience the ups and downs of navigating rough seas through the sounds of the waves rising and crashing in the melodies. This piece is perfect for string orchestras seeking to enhance their technique with the lowered second finger for upper strings, and cellos and basses will be challenged with a new accented motif. Blocked rhythms in the other sections create a cohesive and thrilling performance, and students of all levels will have the opportunity to shine with various leading roles throughout. Let your students embrace the adventure, tackle the challenges, and watch their skills and confidence grow!
