Swashbucklers Saga by Chris Thomas (Grade 2.5) FJH
Swashbucklers Saga by Chris Thomas (Grade 2.5) FJH Developing Strings Arrangement for String Orchestra This music evokes the image of a pirate's life-sailing the world in search of riches, adventure and maybe a little danger. Dance the night away with the swashbuckling scalawags of the seven seas! In a classic pirate jig style, this music explores 6/8 meter with brisk, marcato bowings. A contrasting, romantic lyrical section features rich, soaring melodies amid lush harmonies before the energetic jig returns once more. This cinematic saga will be an energetic addition to your next concert! (3:45)
Embark on a journey across the high seas with Neridah Oostenbroek's gusty piece that captures the rogue nature of Caribbean pirates. Featuring contrasting sections and techniques such as harmonics, pizzicato, and double stops, there is never a dull moment. Sure to be a student favorite! (2:45)

This outstanding pair of contrasting movements moves from a plaintive and pleading Larghetto to an Allegro with all the cheer and sparkle one can imagine. An exceptional opportunity to work on the music of Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities for musical development! (5:15)
