Triptoe Suite for orchestra Pamela J. Marshall

Triptoe Suite started originally as two pieces for violin and piano, written for intermediate-level violinist for a concert of music for children presented by Just In Time Composers. Both pieces had a folk-dance quality and I knew they needed some companion movements to make a real suite. When Bob Blais asked me if I had anything that would be appropriate for the Green Mountain Youth Symphony, I thought of Triptoe Suite, but I knew it would need more development to make good use of the full symphony orchestra.
