SKU: CF.CAS149F

ISBN 9781491163153. UPC: 680160921904. Key: G major.

This exciting piece will help orchestra students soar to new heights! The brisk, consistent tempo will keep all players engaged as they alternate playing the two main themes. Light staccato accompaniments offer the opportunity to practice a brushed bow stroke, and Violin I and Bass sections will encounter some easy shifting. Accented syncopation with ties across the bar are performed in all sections, perfect for refining subdividing skills. This piece was inspired by the sight of a majestic falcon flying effortlessly over the scenic landscape of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.

Paying tribute to the storied F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighter (known to pilots as the “Viper” and flown by the USAF Thunderbirds), this unique and fresh-sounding overture from Jay Bocook is characterized by bold harmonies and driving rhythmic patterns. The opening slow section sets a mood of anticipation with dark sonorities and brief solos, followed by the fast section which contrasts a striking melody with moments of angular intensity. Dur: 3:20.
