Icicles

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Cello, Contrabass — Feel the frigid chill of winter winds and brittle ice! This original work for young orchestra offers a contemporary sound with approachable quarter and half note rhythms and basic stepwise motion. Featuring the cello and bass sections prominently, all notes fall within the range of the D major scale, with a brief metallic sound of violins open E string to depict the steely cold. Set in B minor, close (yet easy) intervals create interesting harmonies that hint at dissonance to represent the bitter cold of frozen ice. Feel the frigid chill of winter winds and brittle ice!
