Momentum
By Richard Meyer
Item: 00-29722
Series: Highland/Etling String Orchestra
Category: String Orchestra
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
Level: 3
As the title suggests, a driving, rhythmic pulse permeates throughout this contemporary original selection by Richard Meyer. The piece incorporates two diverse moods-a highly rhythmic first section in B Minor, built on rising and falling thirds, followed by a simple chorale in folk-song style presented first in the violins and then passed throughout the ensemble. As this slow section winds down, the energy is once again established with the re-introduction of earlier material. The chorale is then heard again, this time coupled with the energetic figures that started the piece. A great choice for your next concert or contest, "Momentum" provides a wide variety of outstanding teaching opportunities while using a fresh "new" sound that your students will love! (5:30)

3:41 SOUNDS SO GOOD

[@legend_of_ozzy2525]

2:40 has always been my favorite part of this piece as a cellist. It just does a great job at capturing the sheer beauty and grace that a single instrument can produce.

[@raull989]

I remember playing this in 8th grade, still my favorite piece to play on my violin🦈🦍💯

[@buildintotrains]

Ad a cellist I've still memorized this entire piece 10 years later. The melody is so good

[@bandit4858]

[@TheReal6ToxicIsDum]

everything is hard ngl

[@mightythearmiddilo]

Bro… 2 days ago my youth group for church had a Kahoot game for Christmas Songs. My best friend chose the name “Music is easy” because we were using a music maker, and he thought you could just spam notes and get music. So I’m like _boi_ and named myself “Music is hard”.

[@Max-vf2ft]

This is what I needed for all county thank you so much

[@zerir.3726]

AUGHH TAKE ME BACK

[@TheReal6ToxicIsDum]

[@teyahshuman4780]

1:38 tho

[@abby3995]

even til this day 4:58 will forever be my favorite part

[@rwwrl3]

1:38 is literally one of THE coolest parts (especially for violin and viola)

[@davidrco]

from 4:58 to the end is the perfect ending, Richard Meyer wrote it so well

[@caydenk_220]

Definitely in the top 5 of Richard Meyer songs

[@minefan7]
