The Golden Gateway (Brian Balmages) for String Orchestra
Celebrate music and its ability to connect with communities around us! This joyful work by Brian Balmages is a powerful reminder of the many ways music inspires and invigorates. Beginning with a beautiful, heartfelt introduction, The Golden Gateway soon takes off in exuberant twists and turns before coming to a heroic conclusion.
"‘The Golden Gateway’ is a gateway to a very open and cinematic string ensemble experience! This work does sound like the movies, with a high degree of independence within the parts, and a sense of motion is achieved through melodic interest and well-utilised time changes (3-4 and 4-4). The range and melodies themselves are generally comfortable across the instruments, though individual players will need to be confident navigating across strings quickly. Highly recommended for this level!" - Jacqui (Education Manager)
