Hold On (Keep Your Hand on the Plow) [String Orchestra] Hold On (Keep Your Hand on the Plow) [String Orchestra]

Freedom will come but we must hold on. Both struggle and hope are represented in this arrangement by variations in scoring, beginning with the cello and bass in their lower register and ending with the violins in third position, and by fluctuating dynamics and varying articulations.
