This fiery concert opener will exhilarate and energize your students and audience alike. The courageous theme races through the sections of the orchestra while the cascade of textures refuses to settle. This piece features a timpani, tam-tam, and bass drum part which add to the relentless drive of this adrenaline-fueled fanfare. The balance of adventure and stoicism make this piece a favorite to show off the passion of your orchestra.
Your students will gain familiarity with unusual meters and changes without it feeling unnatural. The opening is written in 3/4 is felt in a heavily syncopated one, but the main theme is in a fast 3/2. This allows for ease of rehearsal at a slow tempo while reinforcing the relative nature of rhythmic notation. The quick running lines and soaring melodies will reinforce your students’ quick shifting skills while giving room for choosing fingerings that balance technical and musical decisions. The textures allow for reinforcement of advanced bow techniques such as louré, sautillé, and slurred staccato.
