Cinque (Neridah Oostenbroek) for String Orchestra
Cinque is a exciting introduction to 5/4 time signatures for intermediate string ensembles. The melody is fast and features a catchy tune inspired by the faster renaissance dances, such as the galliard. The use of modal harmonies in the opening section is also reflective of the Renaissance period. There is a middle section in D major which highlights the cello and bass parts with a moving pizzicato bass line. All parts, except the bass, are in 1st position with a few optional 3rd position notes in the 1st violin. A spirited piece for your string ensemble!
Grade: 2.5-3
Duration: 2’13”
Key: D minor
Instrumentation: Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin3/Viola, Cello, Bass, Piano
