This delightful and approachable arrangement is an ideal introduction to Corelli's compositional style. Representing four of the original five movements, this version begins with a rewarding Adagio before moving into a sprightly Allegro. The Grave that follows offers incredible opportunities to focus on phrasing before ending with the final, cheerful Allegro. Perform as a complete work or as separate movements for many options.
This authentic and vibrant work brings the sound and spirit of Mariachi to the string orchestra! Complete with strumming passages, catchy syncopated figures, and energetic melodies, the piece also includes parts for an optional guitar ensemble to really add some flavor! Many principal players have solo opportunities in this passionate, colorful salute to traditional Mexican music. Unique and a ton of fun! (3:00)
Commissioned by the National String Project Consortium, this gorgeous lyrical work can be performed alone as an intermediate level piece, or with multi-level supplemental parts (available separately) for beginning and developing string students. Orchestrated to celebrate inclusion and diversity, the multi-level option is designed to sound far "greater than" the intermediate version alone. Not your traditional festival orchestra piece by any means. (Grade 3, Dur 5:40)
