About this arrangement

Score and Parts String Orchestra (Parts And Score) - Level 3.5 SKU: HL.35011048 Composed by Ken Baird. Shawnee Press. Shawnee Press #J0175. Published by Shawnee Press (HL.35011048). UPC: 747510071587.Invention is an exciting work for high school or college orchestra that features an accented, multi-metered main theme, contrapuntal writing, a fugue, a reflective melodic interlude, and an optional extended violin cadenza. The title refers to the process undertaken by great inventors such as Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci. In this work, the composer reflects the many emotions and processes an inventor might experience as he is working on his creation: the spark of inspiration, the excitement of a new project, trial and error, frustration and anger, intensity, and, at last, success!
