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)

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)
