Adapted for string orchestra from the popular concert band work, this arrangement begins as a soft and majestic statement and builds to a soaring conclusion. The legato melody against staccato harmony creates a great contrast that propels the music forward and an array of percussion including Triangle, Toms, Tambourine and Suspended Cymbal add to the color and intensity. Perfect for reinforcing 4-note slurs and high and low 4th finger. Shifting in 1st Violins.
