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.
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.

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.
