Grasshopper Chomp for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Here’s another great teaching piece from Svendsen. The off-the-string (optional) bowing can represent the chomping of the grasshopper. Set in D major It’s an easy tune that offers flexible performance options by dividing out the players into melody players and harmony players. In this manner it could be done in a number of ways, from all low strings to a mixture of everyone.
Carl Bohm (1844 - 1920) was a renowned composer and teacher for violinists. His famous pieces, "Moto Perpetuo" and "Galop," showcase double semiquavers and highlight the cellos in the latter. The work is shared around for everyone to shine.
