Marche Oriental by Elliot Del Borgo
Built on the pentatonic scale, this exuberant march with an oriental flair will delight players and audiences alike. Written for string orchestras with optional piano, a combined 1st/2nd Violin part (16 copies in each set) promotes greater confidence in passages calling for simple double-stops on open strings. Midway through the piece Del Borgo employs canonic and pizzicato techniques for textural contrast; in his score notes he mentions the importance of maintaining a steady tempo during the pizzicato section.
