Susan H. Day: Dance of the Shadows: Streichorchester

This dark and shadowy waltz elegantly weaves a spell in D minor, dancing through a twisted web of accidentals as it shifts and changes to E minor. Players get to work on extended and low-1 finger patterns, slurs, and even momentary syncopation as the haunted melody floats from section to section, drifting and descending chromatically, only to vanish into thin air.
