Program Notes

Rize and Shine” is fun and playful, with easy bowing patterns and a charming storyline. Imagine a lazy morning vibe—perhaps hitting the snooze button—then the alarm clock sounds, signaling “time to get up,” followed by a quick scurry into the new day! Young players will love the resonant open strings, melody for all, pizzicato, and accessible tempo change. Enjoy hints of “Frère Jacques” and the chiming of the hours; Woodblocks and Triangle add charm.
