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)
Dance of the Tumblers by Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. Bob Lipton Gr2.5
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)
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)
