Electric Sinfonia For String Orchestra By Bernofsky (FJH)
Electric Sinfonia for String Orchestra (Grade 2.5) by Lauren Bernofsky
This piece by Keith Baird reflects the sounds of the jungles and plains of Africa. The simple melody is supported by a rhythmic, easy keyboard accompaniment that can be even more effective when using "log drum" sounds on a synthesizer. A fun, well-crafted ensemble piece for beginning level players that features imitation between sections, simple harmony in parallel lines, and bold, modal sonorities. As always, Kenneth Baird creates interesting parts for all players.

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)
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)
