This piece depicts the sounds and rhythms of the Slavic people. The piece is lively and fun with a contrasting lush middle section. A perfect choice for contest or festival concerts.
Written in E minor, Slavic Celebration is a work for string orchestra that is reminiscent of Slavic folk songs. The dance-like character of the allegro sections frame the slower, yet haunting, 3/4 middle section. The ensemble should be aware of all legato and staccato articulations, along with all dynamic and tempo markings to maximize the style within each segment.
