Wishful Thinking – a lighter concert piece for String Orchestra by David Johnstone

PDF1 – General Score

PDF 2 – Orchestral parts for Violin 1, Violin 2 and Viola

PDF 3 – Orchestral parts for Cello and Double Bass

Notes:

Wishful Thinking is a fun piece for String Orchestras of all sizes, equally suitable for almost chamber groupings of some 12 players up to full symphony orchestra string section size. It is generally rhythmical, influenced by the British pop tradition, but with wistful melodies that give the piece a certain classical reference. The briefest mention from the Beatles ‘Yesterday’ is no more than a fleeting moment of respect, before the typical Johnstone harmonies continue on their way. All the string instruments have their moments of melodic ‘glory’, before the piece comes to a most gentle resting point at the end. The sub-title ‘Amara, Donostia’ refers to the district of San Sebastian where the Basque National Orchestra has its home – the ‘Swinging Strings’ of this orchestra were the first to promote and record the piece.
