Elasticity

From a new name in string orchestra composition (she has written some choral music) comes an exciting, relentlessly propelled piece that is a study in sonic surprises. The handing off of melodic material from section to section will keep everyone on their toes and the constant eighth note propulsion underlays all the syncopated melodies provides a great lesson in sensitive accompanying. Punctuation with Bartok snap pizzicatos gives it that final pizzazz that will have people enthralled.
