Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.923339 Composed by James Alexander Pavlic. Contemporary. Score and parts. 88 pages. James A. Pavlic #8837. Published by James A. Pavlic (A0.923339). Are you ready for an exhilarating ride through the wild blue yonder and beyond? If the answer is yes, then look no further: Balloon Ride! It's lively melodies, lush string beds, and mesmerizing harmonies will keep you thoroughly engaged. As you are preparing for your journey, the escalating strings propel you forward and raise you up in the sky. Soon following, the wind gently keeps you afloat as the slight gusts (invoked by the escalating winds) push you forward and higher. Eventually, you hit a tornado (sporadic harmony changes) and snowstorm as you fighting for your life. Eventually, the sailing gets easier as you soon approach clear skies; and, the anticipation keeps rising as you eventually reach the home stretch. Would work great as an opening or closing to a concert. For performance, some sections may need to be slowed down maybe to make it less taxing on players. The key is momentum and minimal hand motion possibly for string parts. Scored for chamber orchestra. MP3 sample is included for your listening pleasure.
