Sandy Beside The Sea for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Here’s a great way to liven up your next concert. Using the Preparatory Exercises and accompanying texts included in this pack, you will have your students playing the syncopated rhythms of this delightful samba in no time. The notes are very accessible for the developing string orchestra which allows everyone to focus on the rhythmic aspects of the work. An easy violin part, treble viola part and optional percussion parts are also included. The audience will be up and dancing! Highly recommended.
Pleyel, a renowned musician and entrepreneur in early 19th century Paris, wrote a beautiful piece for two violins in the late Classical style. The piece follows the sonata form and features a brooding first theme contrasted with an impish second theme played in staccato quavers. The movement ends with a lively duel between the violins, adding vibrancy and passion to the piece. Your orchestra will love it!
For String Orchestra Grade 3.5
Mozart composed over 30 violin sonatas during his lifetime. Among these works, only one sonata stands out for being entirely in a minor key. This particular sonata is known for its dark, brooding and energetic nature. It also features spiccato and martele articulations, which were crucial to the Classical style of music. This piece is appropriate for Grade 4 string orchestras.
The Wild West and contemporary US composers inspired this piece. It has an idiomatic cowboy feel, with lively lines and a pleasing middle section. The outer sections have a dynamic ensemble energy, and there are opportunities for bowing techniques and position work.
