About this arrangement

Orchestra Cello, Contrabass, Viola, Violin 1, Violin 2 - Grade 3.5 SKU: CF.CAS146 Composed by Kevin Ray. Carl Fischer Concert String Orchestra Series. Set of Score and Parts. 10+10+16+16+10+12 pages. Carl Fischer Music #CAS146. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CAS146). ISBN 9781491160633. UPC: 680160919222.Retrospect looks to the past through two themes in an ABA form. The first lyrical theme is performed over an unrelenting and often dissonant pizzicato accompaniment that persists through the entirety of the first A section. The B section slows down for a more somber reflection and is more pensive and ruminative in character. After a short development where both themes are explored, the final A section returns triumphantly, first led by the violas. After a violin solo, the A section is restated in a more heroic and prevailing tone with arpeggiated viola and cello accompaniment. With contrasting styles and syncopated accompaniments, this piece is excellent for developing student shifting skills, tone, independent playing, and intonation.Retrospect looks to the past through two themes in an ABA form.
