Winter Lights

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — Composed for and dedicated to the students of the Old Trail School Orchestra in Bath, Ohio, Winter Lights is inspired by music of the Italian Baroque period.xa0 The colorful and reflective piece merges traditional harmonies with contemporary major seventh chords to create a whimsical and wistful mood. Written using simple rhythms and articulations, the music allows players to stay in first position while developing expressive tone through dynamic contrasts. Players should maintain a steady tempo, especially in pizzicato sections which can be supported by the optional piano accompaniment. A charming addition to any winter concert program.
