Final Voyage
By Kathryn Griesinger

Highland String Orchestra
Grade: 4
Final Voyage by Kathryn Griesinger depicts setting sail on a grand adventure, beginning with a noble opening theme. Like the fresh dawn, a motif in D major rises, signaling a hopeful start to a new day. A sudden tempo change introduces new rhythmic activity, featuring busy doubled eighth notes and double stops as the journey picks up momentum. The travelers take a turn to A major, continuing to develop the motif before the music drifts slowly into a mysterious channel in parallel A minor. The mists of uncertainty are only brief, however, as the music builds in power, like the bright sun breaking through. As the horizon is clearly seen once again, the original theme returns, broad and majestic, to carry the adventurers to a glorious finale.
