Ragtime Race & Trading Tunes (level 1-1.5)
A package with two works for junior string ensemble from Michael Stocks
Ragtime Race (D Major): A bright, playful piece. Simple ragtime syncopation is a feature of this work, and both right and left pizzicato is used by all instruments at some stage. The melody is shared around the ensemble.
Trading Tunes (D Major): As the name suggests, the melody is passed between sections of the ensemble (or ‘traded’). Violin 1 and 2 enjoy a question and answer type melody throughout, and towards the end the Viola/Violin 3 and Cello sections also trades tunes. A fun work for all the ensemble!
Parts Included:
Mozart’s 12 Duets for Violin and Viola (Breitkopf & Härtel), known as the “Kegel-Duette,” charm with lively interplay, melodic inventiveness, and a playful spirit—an essential set for chamber music enthusiasts.
Key Features:
• 12 expressive violin and viola duets
• Nicknamed the “Skittles Duets”
• Clear, performer-friendly Breitkopf & Härtel edition
• Perfect for study, recitals, and classical fans
In a snowy, mythical forest, knights ride fiercely, battling dark forces. Your orchestra will enjoy the haunting melodies and thrilling momentum.
