In Winter—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Todd Parrish. This
creative arrangement develops the iconic rhythmic
motif from the first movement of Vivaldi's Winter
from "The Four Seasons." Arpeggiated patterns
in the lower strings realize the implied harmonies
from the original score, spreading this energetic
rhythm throughout all the sections of the orchestra.
Students will have the opportunity to refine
staccato bow technique and play with balance
between parts in the key of G minor, with just a
few easy accidentals. This imaginative take on a
classic winter theme is suitable for winter concerts
or any other time of year.
