About this arrangement

Orchestra - Grade 1.5 SKU: AP.50706S Composed by Brian Balmages. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles; String Orchestra. MakeMusic Developing Strings. Light Concert. Score. Duration 2:15. MakeMusic #00-50706S. Published by MakeMusic (AP.50706S). ISBN 9781470661717. UPC: 038081579214. English.This eerie composition employs colors and harmonies rarely found at this level. Based on harmonic illusions where notes seem to drift out of context, Mind Games introduces low-1 fingerings in a pedagogical way, encouraging students to maintain a relaxed wrist. The Cello section is introduced to easy backward extensions, and bass players see some simple 1st finger shifting. Brian Balmages has written an extremely colorful work full of imagery equally suited as a festival piece or lighter work. (2:15).
