FJH ST6144 Creatures for String Orchestra

WSMA Event 2020m2409

A dark and sinister night full of strange happenings and ghoulish encounters.... So describes this haunting work by Brian Balmages perfect for any concert especially in the fall. Opening with a menacing march as creatures emerge from the darkness the mischief unfolds. Dissonances in upper strings add to the chaos before the audience hears footsteps in retreat of the coming dawn. A wonderful vehicle for introducing aleatoric music to students in a fun and creative way!
