Tectonic Shift refers to Pangea – the supercontinent that geologists believe shifted over time due to plate tectonics, leaving us with the land masses of today. This spirited work for string orchestra depicts this epic earth-shattering event with a dynamic explosion of sound and rhythm. Set in 7/8 time, the contemporary motif will challenge each section rhythmically and melodically. As suggested by the title, all sections have the opportunity to practice shifting as well. Riffing on the “tonic” of D minor, the bass section is featured with a soli section that drives the momentum of this energizing performance piece. Electrifying!
