A Vivaldi School Year for string orchestra (Grade 1.5) arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle
Contemporary and fresh, this energetic romp is shrouded in a sense of excitement and anticipation. Highly rhythmic with a pop flair, the melody combines with an infectious rhythmic groove and hip bass line to keep everything driving forward. A rousing ensemble ending pulls out all the stops - a sure crowd pleaser! (3:45)
This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement. (4:30)
Experience the beauty and power of a Celtic sunrise in this accessible, yet powerful sounding work. Driving rhythms and decisive open intervals depict the countryside and rolling hills of Scotland. Optional percussion parts add to the festive quality of the piece. Get ready to experience a massive sound with your young orchestra! (Grade 1.5, Dur 2:00)
