To the Fore!

Commissioned by Teacher Misty Green for Westlake Middle School’s 50th Anniversary Celebration

Instrumentation: Violin I Violin II Viola Cello (opt divisi part) Bass

Score Notes: In the cello part, the opt bass cues are pizzicato, the regular cello part is still arco.

The bottom divisi for the cello part is optional.

Program Notes: This piece was written for a good friend and an amazing teacher and conductor. For this piece I was asked to write something joyful and triumphant, but also something that could be put together in a limited amount of time.

This piece, despite its simple scalar pattern, is meant to be bright and bold, reaching higher and looking forwards to the future and the amazing things we are capable of. While we look back to the past to reminisce on all we have already accomplished, we should be proud of what we’ve done, but then strive to take the lead into the next chapter. So without further ado, To the Fore, orchestra!

To the Fore!
