| Description: The lush harmonies and lingering melodies of Claude T. Smith’s ’Nocturne’ from ”Incidental Suite” (for Band) are transformed into a stunning work for strings in this new adaptation for string orchestra and percussion. Significant solo lines for violin and viola make this plaintive music a beautiful concert piece by itself or with its companion bookends from Incidental Suite. |
