in the viola and cello sections starts this diabolical
journey of dance and lyricism. The driving rhythms
and lyrical lines with infused with elements of the
tango, including the chicharra technique of playing
behind the bridge! A contrasting B section in 6/8
is almost waltz-like, showing the softer side of this
dance journey before resuming the original melody
with rhythm and fire.

Chimera—Eric Davis. This high-energy work is
based on the Greek mythological fire-breathing
monster that has a lion's head, a goat's body and
a serpent's tail. Three themes representing each of
these interact with one another and move through
a series of musical episodes in a battle between
the beast and the hero, Bellerophon. Fun to play
from the dramatic opening to the exciting and
heroic conclusion!

16th note double-stop passages. The strong
melodic material for the lower strings and beautifully
haunting middle section will capture the imagination
of your students while giving the director several
possibilities for technical and musical instruction.

the soloist to display both technique and lyricism as
the piece moves through a series of "diversions"
held together by a common theme.

parts. Hand claps and the optional drum set add a
fun, energetic groove.
