English.
This high-energy, rhythmic work in E minor---with a mysterious theme---features a syncopated motive that will delight players. Chromatic harmonies give students opportunities to develop their intonation. This original work by Michael Hopkins combines the use of slow and fast bow strokes to help students learn to control the speed of the bow, and features a variety of dynamic contrasts. All sections of the orchestra have challenging and interesting parts. (4:20).
