String Orchestra - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.886673 Composed by Panagiotis Theodossiou. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 63 pages. Panagiotis Theodossiou #3073729. Published by Panagiotis Theodossiou (A0.886673). Theme and Variations, for string orchestra (2005). The work is written especially for the composer’s final composition diploma and has been his second attempt to write a work in a large scale (the first was a cello concerto - fantasia). The theme, on which ten variations lead to the grandiose finale, is written by a composer’s good friend, Nikos Drelas. The strict polyphonic writing of the earlier serial works as well as the free homophonic style of the last almost tonic are here altogether in a almost progressive idiom. The programmatic nature of this composition coexists with the absolute musical sound form. Titles of variations like Waltz funebre or Jazz Polka, in an austere musical text give the point for a new direction in composer’s creative thinking. Parts of the work have been performed by Philothei - Psychico Youth Orchestra under the direction of the composer at Benetatou Cultural Center in October 2014.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFJX5DXQaiAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASIC4x8BV_4&t=2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijsl8qz8Q5Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiitDuH4wCkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeVUcJUIbFA&t=2s

Travis Patton #1001797. Published by Travis Patton (A0.1420329). Joy to the World arranged for string orchestra or string quartet. This somber setting of this typical joyous hymn reflects moments in life when pain, sorrow, or remorse overtake one’s ability to sing “Joy to the World�. Sometimes, we must sing this lyric despite our current circumstances in hopes of what is to come. Musically, there are plenty of opportunities to work on melodic playing and bow technique through phrasing and dynamic swells. A hemiola is prominent in the last half of the piece between lower strings and middle voices. After some harmonic tension, an accelerando, and a release, the melody peacefully resolves. Arranged by Travis Patton. Find more at www.travispatton.comLive performance by Belmont University String Chamber Orchestra.
