This Train - Traditional American Arr. Stephen Chin
This spirited arrangement of a popular spiritual is guaranteed to get every member of the ensemble excited. Throughout the piece, the melody is shared among all players, allowing even the least experienced ones to have a chance to shine. The clashing notes perfectly capture the sound of the train's whistle, adding an authentic touch to the music. The upper parts of the arrangement avoid using the low 2nd finger, allowing for a simpler and more comfortable playing experience, while the lower strings work within a simple left-hand frame. The syncopated notes are easy to manage yet add a remarkable amount of spice and energy to the piece. This arrangement is particularly well-suited for younger players, who will surely have an absolute blast performing it.
This music game is excellent for elementary programs, offering imaginative titles like “The Still Before the Storm” and “Fairy Floss”. It teaches students about keys, orchestral textures, and various techniques in an accessible way, promoting an early appreciation of music's tone color.
No need to wait years to perform Grieg's "Holberg Suite" with your ensemble. This arrangement is true to the original but with less tricky figurations. It features off-string work, trills, accented quavers, light legato bowing, martele and pizzicato to make the performance sparkle!
The music is filled with lively melodies and counter-melodies that dance around the orchestra. The middle section features a string quartet solo interrupted by tutti utterances. The work offers a wide range of textures, dynamics, and haunting tunes that will captivate both players and audiences alike.
Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus and Alleluia from "Exultate Jubilate" are two of his most cherished liturgical compositions. All the difficult melismas have been adapted without losing the original excitement.
Pachelbel's most famous work is "Canon in D," but he also composed many other pieces, including concerti, keyboard suites, and organ compositions. The Sarabande features a circle of fifths bass with varied sections. Bohm's Rigaudon is a lively Baroque dance.
