This energetic original work for intermediate string orchestra layers vigorous melodies and rhythms as it builds toward a climactic key change from A minor to B minor. As the title suggests, the music represents a constant state of movement and change, pushing forward with momentum and building theme upon theme, increasing and expanding in range, volume, and intensity. A sometimes-syncopated feel conveys the restless drive and determination of working continuously toward a goal. In this piece, students can explore the musical elements of melody, countermelody, and motif while developing the ability to count and play independently. An excellent selection for working on extended finger patterns (viola and cello), string crossings, divisi playing, easy shifting (first violin), and dramatic dynamic changes.
