MomentumRichard Meyer. A great choice for
your next concert or contest! This provides a wide
variety of outstanding teaching opportunities while
using a fresh "new" sound that your students will
love! As the title suggests, a driving, rhythmic pulse
permeates this contemporary original, but the piece
incorporates two diverse moods: a highly rhythmic
first section in B Minor, built on rising and falling
thirds, followed by a simple chorale in folk song
style. Once this slow material is passed around
the energy is re-established with earlier material.
A solid work for concert and contest.

first position, while the bass shifts briefly to third
position. Educational objectives include playing
accidentals, contrasting between staccato and
legato, and learning to play in a swing style.
