About this arrangement

Orchestra Cello, Contrabass, Viola, Violin 1, Violin 2 - Grade 3 SKU: CF.CAS138F Composed by Todd Parrish. Carl Fischer Concert String Orchestra Series. Full score. 12 pages. Carl Fischer Music #CAS138F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CAS138F). ISBN 9781491160794. UPC: 680160919390.Named for the west wind, this grade 3 original work makes use of quarter and eighth note triplets to depict a sense of swirling motion. A forward moving theme is passed between sections in the orchestra accompanied by a steady, march-like staccato pulse. The opening B minor theme rises and falls, giving way to a faster, rhythmic section in D major. Ascending and descending scale passages are exchanged between voices with a light, springy spiccato. The music swells with crescendos and decrescendos portraying the sweeping ebb and flow of the wind. The primary minor theme returns with a dramatic unison statement in the violins, shifting modally as it builds to a momentous finale. An excellent piece for working on extended finger patterns, bowing styles, and dynamic changes.Named for the west wind, this grade 3 original work makes use of quarter and eighth note triplets to depict a sense of swirling motion.
