As Evening Falls for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Expressive, legato melody lines highlight this romantic work in 3/4 time, giving all sections a chance to shine. The key oscillates between D major and B minor (modal) and uses the notes string players learn first and know best. It’s quiet and reflective, a nice change of pace!
Keith Sharp's contemporary piece in D major is enjoyable to play and suitable for beginners. It features echo effects and melodious accompanying lines and is graded as a B for primary school and a C for high school.
Keith Sharp earned a Bachelor of Music degree in 1984. He's been a string educator in Brisbane since then, creating award-winning programs and compositions. His works are popular in Australia and internationally. Keith is also a clinician, guest conductor, and guest lecturer.
Australia's National Anthem is a source of pride for Australians. We offer the first verse thoughtfully, with a piano part for accompaniment. A major key suits most voices. Great for school assemblies. Suitable for Grade 2 String Orchestra.
