About this arrangement

String orchestra SKU: M7.DOHR-88807 Composed by Adrian Connell. Sheet music. Score. 20 pages. Duration 10'. MDS (Music Distribution Services) #DOHR 88807. Published by MDS (Music Distribution Services) (M7.DOHR-88807). ISBN 9790202098073.Spring Song is a celebration of the arrival of spring, a renewal of life from the death of the old year. The basic structure of this piece is classical Sonata form. The opening represents winter and this section contains the motives that are the seeds for spring. The music does not really take flight until the development section where march-like textures punctuated by string fanfares propel the music forward. The recapitulation is transformed as the themes reappear in a different order and use the march-like elements from the development. The coda acts as a tranquil recall of the opening music as four solo strings take on the guise of birds singing in contentment in the summer sun.
