Hi there. This is a 4 movement suite for a reduced orchestra. I wrote it for a music group I'm in, so I tried to keep it fairly easy rhythmically and technically speaking. Instrumentation; 1 Flute 2 Oboes 1 Clarinet (Bb) 1 Bassoon 2 Trumpets (Bb and Eb) 1 Piano 2 Violins 1 Viola My aims for this piece were 1) Keep it short and simple. (No movement is over 2 mins in length) 2) Have a main theme which develops and matures, rather than being heard only once and then never heard again. Note: The score is in concert pitch to make it easier to read. Trumpet 1 uses Eb trumpet in the Nocturne but Bb in the other three movements. Movement I: Fanfare zSHARE - fanfare.mp3 Movement II: Nocturne zSHARE - nocturne.mp3 Movement III: Off-beat Times zSHARE - off-beat times.mp3 Movement IV: Finale zSHARE - finale.mp3 The Score: (contains all the Movements) http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12904&stc=1&d=1216400029 Small Suite for a Small Orchestra.pdf I welcome as much criticism as possible. The fourth movement I'm still playing with and trying to get right. Also the structures of all the movements are very simple and repetitive. I also have a feeling the piano parts aren't playable or would need two pianists in a couple of the movements. Small Suite for a Small Orchestra.pdf
