Revolt of the Brave, Rene Orth (2017) 4'
for string orchestra

Commissioned by Composers and Schools in Concert, REVOLT OF THE BRAVE was premiered in Louisville, KY by the 2016-2017 Frederick Law South Academy 8th grade String Orchestra and the University of Louisville Symphony Orchestra in March 2017 under the batons of Kimcherie Lloyd and Courtney Schisler.

The piece is inspired by feminine strength and perseverance. Current society does not often associate the idea of strength with women, but it is a very natural quality among us all. The same could be said of a string orchestra. Strength shows itself in many forms, and string instruments also offer an incredibly wide color palette and require an immense amount of discipline and perseverance to be played well.

Revolt of the Brave is a strong, rhythmic piece written for grade 2+. The piece explores some extended techniques (percussive taps, slaps, stomps) and provides an opportunity to refine intonation in the key of D-minor. 

Orchestral instrumentation: Violin 1-2, Viola, Cello, Double Bass
