Entry of the Tumblers

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — The color and energy of a circus performance are captures in this solid and rhythmic work for string orchestra. The writing aims to foster a rigorous bow technique and a solid, well-focused string tone. This is an ideal piece for early string orchestra. Although it can be played by any student who has learned the D scale, Del Borgo's creative composing makes it sound much harder than it is. Thanks to some contrary motion, scalewise passages in harmony, and even a small section in minor, your beginning orchestra will sound quite impressive.
