Griesinger, Kathryn: Dynamism

This energetic original work for intermediate string orchestra layers vigorous melodies and rhythms as it builds toward a climactic key change from A minor to B minor. Theme builds upon theme, increasing and expanding in range, volume, and intensity with a syncopated feel. An excellent selection for working on extended finger patterns (viola and cello), string crossings, divisi playing, easy shifting (first violin), and dramatic dynamic changes.
