Caterpillar Holiday for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
How’s about a bit of swing for your next concert! Caterpillar Holiday will provide your students with an easy and technically accessible way to explore swing bowing style. The parts are written using straight eighth notes which makes it easy for the students to read and learn the piece quickly. Add in the swing when they’re ready. This piece includes an optional 3rd Violin part.
Mamba Samba is a fun and unique piece for string ensembles. It offers swing without technical difficulty, accommodates different skill levels, has optional parts for violin and viola, and includes lyrics. A MIDI backing track is also available.
