'Little Blue Train' | Stefan Karpiniec | TYO Camerata Strings
'Little Blue Train,' by Tasmanian composer Stefan Karpiniec, is performed here by TYO Camerata Strings under the direction of Kim Bishop. The piece proved popular with TYO's Camerata students, while providing challenge and offering much scope to develop character and technical control over a variety of rhythms and articulations. There is a clear blues influence in the rhythm and harmony, and the tunes and rhythmic energy are shared through all of the string orchestra sections. Stefan Karpiniec is a Tasmanian composer who writes and arranges music for students, including orchestras, choirs and classroom material.
