Oh, Beautiful (string orchestra)

Violin & Cello Feature

This subtle and moving work calls for a solo piano, violin, and cello over long sustained tones of the string orchestra. After setting a stark and solemn mood on the piano, fragments of the tune America begin to form a cohesive melody. This is ideal for an introspective moment in any performance.
