| Description: Airport Road is written for a Grade 3+ string orchestra. The viola part is written for violin III as an option to strengthen the viola section if necessary. The title was derived from the street that the publisher recently moved to in Alto, New Mexico. The composition is written in an ABA rondo form with a moderately allegro section, a beautiful lyrical 'B' section, played in a gentle and smooth fashion, and a return to the 'A' section and a coda. The violins are required to play in fourth position, and there are interesting parts for all players. |
