{"product_id":"commence","title":"Commence","description":"Commence was written for a Spring 2025 reading with members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. In the piece's first movement, a wandering, intimate melody is first presented by the viola and then in three alternate versions, each concluding with a short outburst. The third of these outbursts proceeds directly into the second movement, in which tense, dancelike material seems to always be beginning new but related episodes. A lyrical section recalls the first movement and provides some relief from this growing tension, and while the answering dance seems to grind to a halt, the ensemble begins yet another episode that fades away as if nothing of note had ever happened... or ever will.","brand":"Songburd Music","offers":[{"title":"Print","offer_id":57015541399712,"sku":"SM.000109","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (Newzik Account Required)","offer_id":57015541432480,"sku":"SM.000109D","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/5003\/0752\/files\/Commence-Thumbnail.jpg?v=1778871025","url":"https:\/\/songburdmusic.com\/products\/commence","provider":"Songburd Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
