The famous Nocturne which evokes the magic slumbers of Shakespeare's main character from A Midsummer Night's Dream will provide a chance to develop a beautiful, legato playing style. Winds are featured in several spots, and the strings use legato bowings throughout. A great "change of pace" piece that will showcase your orchestra's sensitivity and musicality. New Ohio MEA H.S.
