Ancient Days for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Ancient Days creeps in and rises to a crescendo with a driving, primordial melody. The work’s Dorian modality is emphasized by arpeggiated lower string accompaniment, while upper voices have an opportunity to incorporate a bit of third position skill within their feature. An optional tom-tom part is included.
Music from La La Land for String Orchestra Grade 3-4
With 14 nominations and 6 Oscars, La La Land and its charismatic cast cultivated a new worldwide audience for film musicals. With memorable songs by composer Justin Hurwitz (including Oscar winner “City of Stars”), Larry Moore's superb arrangement is great entertainment for most any performance.
Melodies from Another Day of Sun, City of Stars, Mia and Sebastian's Theme, Audition (The Fools Who Dream).
Vivaldi’s "Concerto in B Minor, RV 580 (Op. 3 No. 10)" (IMC) is a thrilling Baroque masterpiece for four violins—ideal for advanced ensembles and concert performance.
Chin, Haydn Symphony No.60 1st Movement This arrangement for strings is faithful to the original work with the added features of sharing the melodic lines, a slight editing of a few bars of the bass part, a violin 3 part and a keyboard realization. It is also an excellent way to develop Classical style spiccato in more advanced players.
