About this arrangement

Orchestra Cello, Contrabass, Viola, Violin 1, Violin 2 - Grade 3 SKU: CF.CAS144F Composed by Eric B. Davis. Carl Fischer Concert String Orchestra Series. Full score. 16 pages. Carl Fischer Music #CAS144F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CAS144F). ISBN 9781491160787. UPC: 680160919383.Sea Squall is about the journey of a ship traveling across turbulent seas. It starts with the primary melody that comes back frequently, with every section having a turn playing it. The context of this theme changes as the piece progresses. Sometimes it is calm and safe, and sometimes more powerful, like a storm with that lingering feeling of unpredictability. The bowings and dynamics, as well as what each section is playing, changes the mood and feeling of the music, from calm, to animated, even heroic in the louder areas. There is a new theme introduced later in the cellos with the upper parts following soon after. The focus of the player should be to bring out these contrasts in the parts, by observing the dynamics and articulations.Sea Squall is about the journey of a ship traveling across turbulent seas.
