Across the Wind
By Doug Spata
Item: 00-40473
Series: Highland/Etling String Orchestra
Level: 2.5
Thrilling melodies swoop and soar over bristling ostinatos in this exciting concert overture in F Major. With a triumphant style and dramatic range of emotions, players will enjoy performing this piece. Many musical and technical skills are reinforced, including 16th note patterns with slurs, part independence, and accidentals. The graceful middle section of the piece is an excellent place for players to experiment with vibrato. Truly an exhilarating, enriching journey that students will be excited to take again and again! (4:19) This title is available in SmartMusic.

[@joticoronel2020]

everyone in my orchestra is good except 2 of the 3rd violins and the violas. its like the violas make no sound, probably because the only 2 violas left the orchestra

[@wonderfulwaddles1816]

Agreed man. When we played this song, we only had 2 cellos.

[@willraymond6997]

“Chellos” I’m sorry but even a year+ after they were made your mistakes will not go unnoticed. But what you said about the piece is more than true haha!

[@peter_verduin]

Good song but I'm not thrilled about playing the Viola part, a lot of our music is really repetitive

[@BearityBear]

The cello part in this is so beautiful, this is my favorite song our orchestra is playing right now.

[@icy_creations]

i’m a cello, and i one hundred percent agree with you.

[@YouserYT]

[@ImFoxWay]

I used to know Doug Spata. He taught at my school for one year and mostly only made us do the music he created. It was a little annoying, but it sounds amazing!

[@hypronmaster6756]

Ahhh the one time we actually have a cello part and I get to play something cool I can't even play cause I'm bad at cello
