Divertimento for Strings was written for advanced Youth or High School string orchestra. It is an exploration of counterpoint, chromaticism, and texture within a construct of playability. As a ‘teaching piece’, it can be useful to point out the various forms:
I. Allegro is in a bare-bones Sonata Allegro form.
II. Adagio is reminiscent in the latter bars of a Habanera.
III. Waltz is just that, a wistful, swirling dance movement.
IV. Gigue hearkens back to the Baroque style in compound meter, and is embellished with 19th century chromatic harmonies.
This piece was originally written for the Wilton High School Orchestra • Wilton, CT, USA under the direction of, and at the suggestion of Marshall Meade in 2016.
I hope you enjoy it!
- Mac Johnston
