Adoration

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — Adoration is an upbeat piece with which I had a lot of fun writing and then preparing with my students. While it has good audience appeal, it is designed to allow the teacher to focus on sound production, ensemble playing and tuning.The piece is straightforward with no hidden traps. While there is a clear change of mood in the middle section, the pulse should remain constant and steady. In order to properly accomplish the accents sprinkled throughout the piece, bows must be “set” on the strings, never dropped.Thank you for using this piece.—Bud Woodruff Adoration is a tuneful, joyous piece that students will love to play. Every section of the young orchestra gets a chance to shine in this well-written piece. While it has good audience appeal, it is designed to allow the teacher to focus on sound production, ensemble playing, and tuning.
