Series: Highland/Etling String Orchestra
Category: String Orchestra
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
Level: 3
As the title suggests, a driving, rhythmic pulse permeates throughout this contemporary original selection by Richard Meyer. The piece incorporates two diverse moods—a highly rhythmic first section in B Minor, built on rising and falling thirds, followed by a simple chorale in folk-song style presented first in the violins and then passed throughout the ensemble. As this slow section winds down, the energy is once again established with the re-introduction of earlier material. The chorale is then heard again, this time coupled with the energetic figures that started the piece. A great choice for your next concert or contest, "Momentum" provides a wide variety of outstanding teaching opportunities while using a fresh "new" sound that your students will love! (5:30)
