Raindrop Serenade for String Orchestra (Grade 1) by Lauren Bernofsky
Apple seed in my banana by Lauren Bernofsky (FJH Music Company) Take your string orchestra in a new direction with this infectiously catchy tune. Written by a seasoned composer of pedagogical music for strings, the piece features extremely playable chromatic passages. The most notable feature of the piece is an optional vamp section, which allows players to improvise a solo as the orchestra accompanies. Unleash your players’ creativity, and prepare to be amazed by what your students can do!

Raindrop Serenade for String Orchestra (Grade 1) by Lauren Bernofsky
The vivid imagery of "little critters" scurrying about at night inspires the melodic lines and creative harmonies used throughout this programmatic work. Beginning soft and mischievous, the music builds as new critters join the fun in a playful dialogue. The harmonic language moves between moments of pleasant consonance and slight dissonance (because as we all know, some people love little critters and some people are terrified of them!). A highly imaginative, playable work! (Grade 1, Dur 2:15)
Get ready to have some fun with this energetic western-style romp! Showcasing a melody that weaves its way through every section, the piece also makes use of open string drones and syncopated rhythms, bringing the country-style flair to life. Outstanding and infectious! (2:30)
