| Description: Originally a simple and elegant keyboard work, this arrangement for string orchestra features a short two-measure motif, characteristic of the Baroque period. Nishimura skillfully works the theme into every section of the ensemble in a variety of ranges as it develops. A wonderful introduction to Baroque style performance featuring articulations and charming melodic counterpoint. |
