Jubilation for String Orchestra

Jubilation is a joyous and uplifting piece for an intermediate ensemble. There are beautiful soaring melodies in the violins and cellos within the opening section, which sit comfortably in 1st position. The viola section has a solo in the contrasting C major middle section which is composed in more of a choral style. There are some opportunities for 3rd position work for more advanced students in the 1st violins in order to create a warmer sound. This piece will fit well into any concert program and is sure to delight both performers and listeners.
