Take on the spirit of the ancient Vikings in this dynamic and energetic piece! Open string double stops, pizzicato, and optional percussion create a dramatic sound that will transport you into a legendary seafaring adventure. Each section gets a chance to shine while working on differing bow styles and dynamics. Violins also utilize low 2nd finger while basses have limited low 1s. (2:30) Publisher: FJH

This spectacular arrangement features four movements from Tchaikovsky's famous Album for the Young. Opening with the endearing Morning Prayer, the piece then moves into the lighthearted waltz, The Hurdy-Gurdy Man. The beautiful Sweet Dream sets the stage for the delightful last movement, March of the Wooden Soldiers. Remarkably faithful to the original while also quite accessible to younger students!
