| Description: Volcano by Michael Hopkins is a fast and rhythmically energetic original concert work in E minor. Written for intermediate orchestra, this piece features all orchestra sections on melodic material. This is an excellent piece for helping students learn about bow speed, articulation, string crossings, syncopated rhythms, phrasing, and dynamic contrasts. Violin, viola, and cello parts are playable in first position. Double basses have a few shifts to 2nd and 3rd position. |
