Off to Battle & Dragon's Lair (level 1)
Double set containing two works by Michael J Stocks
Off to Battle (E minor): An exciting work with a March-like feel. Featuring differingsemiquaver patterns you can easily imagine the soldier’s marching over the battle fields!
Dragon’s Lair (D minor): Children will love this piece. Great for developing the use of low 2nd finger in your ensemble. A dramatic opening section is followed by ‘question and answer’ style melody sharing. The third section is in the style of a March, featuring staccato andlegato bowing as well as simple use of triplets. A fast final section leads to a dramatic climax.
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.
This Duo for violin and viola was written in1939 by Laszlo Weiner, a hungarian pianist, conductor and composer.
