Feature this amazingly authentic arrangement of a Baroque masterpiece! Two movements from Handel's Water Music Suite No. 2 highlight some of the most famous music from the Baroque era while falling well within the technical capability of a young orchestra. Wonderful music with a vast amount of teaching opportunities! (3:00)
Perpetual Fiddle Motion by Brian Balmages Gr2.5
Following the slow introduction, Beethoven's first symphony breaks into a lively and energetic Allegro, carrying listeners through a whirlwind of harmonies and keys. This arrangement authentically captures the lyricism and raw power of a masterpiece written by a young 29-year-old Beethoven. (4:00)

The vivid imagery of "little critters" scurrying about at night inspires the melodic lines and creative harmonies used throughout this programmatic work. Beginning soft and mischievous, the music builds as new critters join the fun in a playful dialogue. The harmonic language moves between moments of pleasant consonance and slight dissonance (because as we all know, some people love little critters and some people are terrified of them!). A highly imaginative, playable work! (Grade 1, Dur 2:15)
