Mare Tranquillitatis: Violin 1

Immerse yourself in a sea of tranquility as your ensemble explores this powerful lyrical work with brilliant orchestration along with exceptional harmonic and melodic development. The work features a solo quartet that is juxtaposed with lush full ensemble writing to create a wealth of interesting textures. As the emotional arc of the piece grows, it soon transforms into a beautiful sweeping line that brings closure to the pent up tension of the previous section. An epilogue follows as the piece ends with one final tender moment with soloists. Breathtaking!
