M. L. Daniels Livres

Beautifully voiced harmonies with an expressive melody take this lyric work to musical heights of inexpressible loveliness. It begins in C major, with modulations into both D and G major. There is some optional third position for violin 1 and low strings have an active and flowing bass line.

Contemporary, rhythmic, and driving, Rockwood Dance is a showcase for the string orchestra. Challenges abound in each and every part as tonal centers shift rapidly. The excitement never flags!

Sensitive, endearing, and enchanting all describe this stellar work from M. L. Daniels. Any difficulty comes from exposure and openness, not from technical issues. It is a mature work, playable by bands of all levels of ability.
