Raging Waters (String Orchestra Gr. 3)

Packed with intensity and relentless energy, just like a cresting river during a violent storm, Raging Waters is fierce and fast-paced. Set in E minor, long notes are juxtaposed against fast and furious ostinati, while dynamic changes and dissonant chords abound in this middle level selection which embodies the essence - and the aftermath - of a powerful hurricane.
