You will be off and racing with this energetic work for advancing string orchestras! Fast paced at the start with melodies moving through the violins to violas and cellos and into different tonal centres. There is a middle Maestoso section in C major with a calm but majestic feel. The piece then accelerates back into the opening material for an energetic ending! There are some challenging sections but Galop is sure to become a favourite!
