Dark Star Rising

Peter Terry

The driving rhythm and bold E minor harmony of the opening section contrasts beautifully with the lyrical and sweeping B section. The main theme returns to lead to a dramatic ending. Great for showing off the dynamic reaches of your Orchestra.

Riu, Riu, Chiu

Arranged by Steven L. Rosenhaus

Riu, Riu, Chiu is one of the most well-known pieces from the Renaissance and has become a staple of holiday programming. The composition is in Dorian mode, so it could serve as a good introduction to music that isn't in a major key.
