Tectonic Shift refers to Pangea the supercontinent that geologists believe shifted over time due to plate tectonics, leaving us with the land masses of today. This spirited work for string orchestra depicts this epic earth-shattering event with a dynamic explosion of sound and rhythm. Set in 7/8 time, the contemporary motif will challenge each section rhythmically and melodically. As suggested by the title, all sections have the opportunity to practice shifting as well. Riffing on the tonic of D minor, the bass section is featured with a soli section that drives the momentum of this energizing piece. Electrifying!
