Momentum—Robert Longfield. Here's a
very creative work in a simple ABA form that
will show your orchestra in the best light. It

key change, and a brief passage for solo
string quartet gives a captivating change
of texture. It ends with a dramatic return to
the opening material. Very accessible and a
great addition to your next concert!
