Go underground to explore the deep, dark sounds of the orchestra's lowest strings. A ponderous, minor theme weaves through every section of the orchestra along with a few easy off-beat rhythms. The absence of low 2 finger patterns make this helpful for teaching and reinforcing note reading on the G, C, and E (bass) strings, while also being extremely satisfying musically. (2:00)
Dance of the Tumblers by Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. Bob Lipton Gr2.5
A Vivaldi School Year for string orchestra (Grade 1.5) arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle
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)
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)
This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement. (4:30)
