Experience the beauty and power of a Celtic sunrise in this accessible, yet powerful sounding work. Driving rhythms and decisive open intervals depict the countryside and rolling hills of Scotland. Optional percussion parts add to the festive quality of the piece. Get ready to experience a massive sound with your young orchestra! (Grade 1.5, Dur 2:00)
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!
