Cello,Oboe,Viola,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.1490132 Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. 8 pages. Phil Beaman #1066982. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.1490132). This song was written for the Total Eclipse which was seen April 2024 across a large section of the North American continent from Mexico through the United States and into Canada. This music creates the feel and experience of the total eclipse. It expressively drifts from minor to major to modal every few measures as it explores the themes of darkness and light, terror and excitement. It should be performed with a bit of edginess to portray the historical anxiety of the event. The upper three instrument parts are kept very low in their range to give a darker tone. The violin part has some double stopping. This unique but approachable piece of art music is a fusion of Romantic, Classical, and Modern styles, great for any concert or recital that needs something special and different, (and perhaps a bit haunting). Range:Ob - 1 octave, middle C to CV - 9th, low G to AVa - 7th, low D to middle CVC - 9th, low G to A2:45 minutes4 pages score, 1 page each part, 8 pages totalMIDI recording does not accurately portray the nuanced expression and emotion.
