This warm, lush work for early-intermediate string orchestra has simple, playable, yet interesting elements for all performers. Teaching opportunities include legato and pizzicato articulations, dynamics changes, a focus on intonation, and playing together in simple, repeated rhythms. The sonorous harmonies make this piece enjoyable to teach and to play as well as to hear for the audience. The optional harp part adds another layer of beauty and interest.

Composer Robert W. Smith has enjoyed his sojourns in the great state of Texas each summer since 1985. In a recent visit to the southwest with his family, he was inspired to sketch three impressions of the Lone Star State. Desert Dawn opens the work with Native-American overtones depicting the warmth of the sunrise over a beautiful southwestern vista. Anyone ever visiting San Antonio will delight in the Paseo Del Rio depicting the light and lively Riverwalk of this great city. The energetic and powerful Longhorns concludes the work with a sense of joy while celebrating this uniquely American way of life. Suitable for concert and festival performance, Southwest Summer will be a valued addition to your next program.
