Oxygen Breach

$49.99

A small meteoroid just caused a crisis in space! It is a race against time as a critical leak threatens the space capsule’s oxygen supply. The astronauts have only three minutes to initiate override protocol and reroute the system to ensure they have enough breathable air for reentry to the space station for repair. Hold your breath as this heroic crew must work together to make split-second decisions in this high-stakes drama. Will they make it in time?

Written mostly within grade 3 guidelines, this piece is a great way to introduce off-string bowing to all the sections or your orchestra to prepare for grade 4 repertoire. An ostinato pattern requiring spiccato and ricochet bowing passes through the sections, altering in pitch and rhythm each time it is passed. Quick scale patterns in C major require gentle sautillé bowing so the teacher can teach differences between sautillé and spiccato within the same piece. Students will also be required to review their skills in subdividing, accidentals, divisi, and contrasting articulations.
