Academic Festival March features a range of textures, dynamics, and articulation while highlighting a stately dotted motif using hooked bowing patterns throughout. Strong homophonic presentations of the main theme are balanced with antiphonal play between the upper and lower strings. Though written primarily in G Major, a short minor modulation will stretch your students to explore different finger patterns and extensions. While ideal for graduation processionals, this courtly march provides students with ample learning opportunities and paths to success, making it the perfect festival or contest selection any time of year.
