Description:
Danza Misolidia, by Anthony Granata, is an energetic and contemporary hoedown featuring a bold and catchy modal theme. Translated from Italian, this "Mixolydian Dance" opens with a robust and heavily accented melody in unison by the violins and violas before the cellos and basses enter with loud and forceful double stops. The melody becomes the focus of a round, played simultaneously at different times by the orchestra, followed by a quiet pizzicato section that sets the stage for a resounding and exciting finale. Students will use C naturals, slurs, double stops, G and C string notes, and first violins will use their E string. A perfect and mature-sounding piece that is accessible to younger players and will surely show off your beginning orchestra's abilities, Danza Misolidia will engage your students and captivate your audiences.
