Dragonfly's Journey

ORCHESTRATION Strings
DURATION 3 minutes

When it comes to classical music and insects, bumblebees aren't the only ones that get to have some fun! In Dragonfly's Journey, composer Avner Dorman has created a work of art for young orchestras, reminiscent of Britten's Simple Symphony, that sounds like something you would hear in a professional concert hall. A motor rhythm of off-the-string 8th notes, primarily in 1st position, propels the music forward as the ensemble explores the key of A major. Come following along on an exciting and energetic adventure with this young dragonfly.
