Allegro from Serenade No. 1 in D for String Orchestra Level 3
This delightful Serenade in D (K. 100/62a) was completed in 1769, when Mozart was a mere 13 years of age (and this is an ideal fact to share with students)! The first movement, even though composed at such a young age, provides challenges for every musician in the ensemble and is musically appealing to players and audience. This would be an outstanding addition at any point in a program but works particularly well as a concert closer! (4:30)
This arrangement embodies the full sound and spirit of the original overture, yet is orchestrated in a way that takes full advantage of the string orchestra sonic palette. A fabulous choice as an opener, closer, or celebratory work for any special occasion! (4:00)
