Dixie Highway: String Orchestra Conductor Score & Parts

A hint of New Age, a bit of traditional Irish fiddling, and some intense Bluegrass---those are the sounds of this creative work which musically depicts the history of the famous auto road that was built to connect Midwest America with the Deep South. Based on Chippewa, Irish, and Old-Time melodies, this exceptional composition contains individual and section solos, opportunities for improvisation, suggestions for traditional folk ornamentation, and "hip" bass lines. With its variety of musical moods, Dixie Highway offers a dynamic and motivating change of pace to any orchestra program, one that promises to shift both the audience and orchestra to overdrive!
