Newcomer Bill Calhoun brings us a solid piece for young string groups that has a modal/Baroque feel to it. The piece takes the materialthrough three different styles with a mysterious chant, followed by a beautiful chorale and then a more lively dance section. Expect more great pieces from this composer in the future!.
Chant, Chorale and Dance depicts three contrasting styles as described in the title. Composed in E minor, it provides the young string orchestra many opportunities for expressive and technical development. It is the perfect piece for concert or contest use.
