I wanted to know two things:

1.What is the articulation method used in the begining here?(probably tremolo glissandi strings in diffrent high pitches)

2.Is there anyway to recreate these in finale?

no tremolo, it's really quite simple. What it is is just random harmonics in the violins and violas. How you would re-create it is put in a range (such as open E to G 2 and a half octaves above) and place in "play glissandi harmonics in this range" and they'll know what you mean. I really like the effect it has :happy:

Yup, as Heckel said, it's really fun to create harmonics in the strings. Both artificial and natural harmonics are possible to create with the strings instrument. For example for Liebermann's Piccolo Concerto, the strings in the introduction have "free" bowings for the artificial harmonics. It is used mainly to provide a subtle background effect, and it's most effective in creating a mysterious/beautiful/peaceful effect. :D :D :D

If you have a score of Stravinsky's Firebird, in the introduction section is a passage with gilssani of harmonics, worth to study to familiarize yourself with the technique.

BTW, Always a good idea to study scores ;)
