Showcase a student or bring in a guest artist to perform with your beginning students! Included are advanced solo violin and viola parts along with easier violin and viola solos as an option. Highlighting the strength and resilience of the human spirit, the piece utilizes some of Newbolds favorite string techniques to show off the violin / viola. An included piano part works well for recitals.
This expressive work aims to encapsulate the essence of serenity through its calm, moderate tempo and simple rhythms. A beautiful interplay between sweeping melodic lines and a gorgeous harmonic language provides unlimited potential for phrasing and music-making. (2:20)
Feature every section of your orchestra in this swashbuckling piece! Three distinct "pirate" themes are given to the violins, violas, and cellos/basses to allow all players a chance to shine. All seafaring melodies stay in first position with minimal low-two finger patterns and lots of doubling for a big, full sound. Each section takes an adventurous turn into new tonalities before joining forces at the end for a triumphant finale! (Grade 1.5, Dur 2:40)
