{"product_id":"millennium-1st-violin-00-pc-0000268-vn1","title":"Millennium: 1st Violin","description":"\"Millennium,\" recorded this year by Alfred for the first time, was first released in 1998. Winner of the 1998 N.S.O.A. composition contest, this contemporary-sounding overture is extremely powerful and full of emotion from beginning to end. After a foreboding introduction, the heroic main theme is introduced by the brass section in unison, accompanied by the entire orchestra in a percussive, marcato style. A lyrical subordinate theme of extreme beauty follows, first stated by unison cellos, then picked up by the entire orchestra. The third and final section is a wild and energetic march, pitting brass against woodwinds and strings, leading into a final, majestic restatement of the main theme. Richard Meyer's colorful and imaginative scoring features every section of the symphony orchestra, resulting in a wonderfully mature-sounding, yet playable, 'tour de force' for the student orchestra.","brand":"Alfred Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583245119624,"sku":"00-PC-0000268_VN1","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/6104\/0520\/files\/00-18293_large_ee4a6a3b-e0fa-43e3-95b4-0330dc27e9ad.jpg?v=1779254562","url":"https:\/\/www.alfred.com\/products\/millennium-1st-violin-00-pc-0000268-vn1","provider":"Alfred Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
