Sicilienne for Violin and String Orchestra

Sicilienne by R. Scott Whittington is in G major in a gently lilting 6/8, and is a wonderful opportunity for your orchestra to work with a soloist (either flute, oboe, or violin). This work is a tribute to the masters of the Baroque Period, while the harmonies are lush and romantic. There is no position work involved except for basses, which allows your students to work on blend, ensemble skills, and tone production. There is a brief cadenza for the soloist, which can be omitted if desired. (5:20)
