Bright River

Inspired by the sight of sunlight sparkling on moving water, the joyous, expansive melody is woven through the sections allowing developing players to shine. Easy eighth note patterns rise and fall under a flowing theme that is passed to every section of the orchestra, offering students opportunity to practice a light brush stroke. Based on the G major scale, this uplifting work will be a pleasant addition to any concert, teaching both staccato and legato articulations.
