SGUNIT 1 Meet Thomas Cabaniss, Our Guide I’m Tom, a composer and your host for Link Up: The Orchestra Moves. Composers create musical movement using motifs, melodic direction, steps and leaps, dynamics, and orchestration. Your challenge is to discover ways you think the orchestra moves. During your time with The Orchestra Moves, I hope you’ll begin each session by singing my song “Come to Play.” I wrote it with you in mind.
