Butterflies On The Breeze for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
This piece depicts the magic of butterfly migration with only open strings and first finger (using all strings). The butterflies disappear into the sky with a soft, delicate pizzicato ending. Bowing skills include two-note slurs, staccato on the string, and hooked bowings. While rhythmically simple, this piece incorporates a great mix of note values, making counting accuracy important.
In a snowy, mythical forest, knights ride fiercely, battling dark forces. Your orchestra will enjoy the haunting melodies and thrilling momentum.
For String Orchestra Grade 1.5
