A New Dawn for String Orchestra Level 2
A New Dawn is a lilting and joyful work that celebrates new life, growth, and new beginnings. Written in a Neo-Classical style, this melodic piece spreads the wealth among the different sections of the orchestra, giving everyone a chance to shine. Weaving back and forth between the main theme and more lyrical sections in the relative minor key, A New Dawn winds up on a positive note with the final recapitulation of the main theme.
Space Ninja is an energetic piece for young orchestra and percussion. Featuring an accentuated spiccato rhythmic melody, this composition combines Eastern sounds with sonorous Western harmonies. It is a great piece to introduce the key of C Major/A minor to a young string group, and the excitement generated by the unique rhythmic approach and percussion will provide for a great change of pace on any program.

This whimsical Khachaturian theme is perfect for teaching intervals and chromatic fingerings. Violas use half position, and first violins will shift to third position. Cellos and violas are featured in the second theme, and this abridged arrangement omits the middle section. A more advanced full transcription for string orchestra is also available. (355152)
Guilt, regret, anger and mourning… those who remain after tragedy strikes are sometimes overlooked, but this musical memoir remembers and honors the hearts that remain but feel a piece of them has passed away through tragedy. The heartfelt melody is woven with stunning harmonies, intense climaxes and serene tranquility. “Hearts Remaining” will challenge and inspire young musicians to think, feel and play deeply, from the heart, empathizing with those… who remain. (Grade 2.5, Dur 3:24)
This classic work was adapted/extracted from a larger scored work that Joseph Haydn wrote while in the service of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy. The original work contained a number of wind parts that in this arrangement have been excluded, but this fine arrangement works beautifully nonetheless as a string-only work. Playing the Rondo-Finale will introduce your students to the well-proportioned pleasures of Classical music, as well as the rondo form. (3:22)
In this wonderfully evocative piece of music Bobrowitz describes a deep water dive to find a long lost city. This compelling musical journey conveys a sense of ever-deepening awe at the magical underwater seascape. All sections of the orchestra contribute to the melodic fabric of this unique musical journey. (4:16)
