On Edge (for String Orchestra Full Score) New
On Edge refers to a feeling of nervousness and suspense, and is the opposite of calm and relaxed. This piece conveys the feeling of urgency and anticipation through rapid 8th note passages in all parts and the sound of the minor key. Written in the keys of D minor and E minor, there are 2 main themes intertwined throughout the parts, with portions of them played simultaneously at measure 33. A multitude of teaching skills for reinforcement include 2 note slurs, the note Bb, dotted quarter rhythms, hooked bowings, arpeggios, steady 8th notes, bow placement and distribution, note doubling, and knowing who has the melody! This is a great teaching piece and fun for the player and audience!
