You've heard of a fiddler on the roof? Well, how about an orchestra on the housetop! Feature the entire string orchestra, section by section, at your next winter concert (even bassists, who are cued in the cello line). Using just six notes, this new arrangement of an old holiday favorite is cleverly scored to sound rich and full. Optional percussion adds to the festivities. A perfect format for bolstering group confidence while promoting section independence! (1:30)
Dance of the Trolls for String Orchestra ( by Mike Forbes Grade 4.5 )
This fantastic and playable suite of themes from the popular opera Carmen includes the Opening Bugle Call and March of the Dragoons, the famous Habanera, the beautiful Entr'acte to Act III - Intermezzo, and the soaring, spirited music of the Final Act. A great way to showcase your students playing some of the most famous and enjoyable opera music in the repertoire! (6:00)
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)
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)
