Publisher Desc.  Icarus tells the story the Daedalus and his son during their escape from Minos' prison tower in the classical Greek myth. It is told through the voices of a solo violin, two violin sections, a viola section, a cello section, a bass section, and a timpani. It has been performed by a 51-piece high school orchestra and by Inrush, the east coast's only all-electric youth orchestra. The score will be a challenge for young players, but will enrich violinists' pattern recognition and speed ability as well as improve the cellists' rhythm.The score is also a challenging and fun piece for large professional orchestras. Icarus consists of a large and exciting mid-body with two time signature changes, all book-ended by two tear-jerking solo violin sections. Approx. four minutes.
