Berry, Blues by Five - Jazz

"My Shot" from the musical "Hamilton"

Pop Specials for Strings

Words and music by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Arranged for String Orchestra by Larry Moore

Suitable for Level 3-4 String Orchestra

Hamilton is without question the most creative, talked-about musical to hit Broadway this millennium. In this stand-out selection from the show, the lead characters lay out their plans for victory, despite their personal hardships. This arrangement for strings and a vocalist is a clever way to connect students with American history!

Overture to Rienzi for String Orchestra Level 4.5

Relive the opera overture that lead to one of Wagners earliest successes! This setting fully retains all the thematic, rhythmic and musical intent of the original orchestra version. Orchestrated to stay true to the vast scope and dimension of the original setting, this exciting work will compliment any program as an overture or as a big-finish closer! 

Sparkle! for String Orchestra Level 1

A bright concert selection to showcase developing playing skills! This lighthearted tune sparkles with simple rhythms and easy string crossings, using notes of the D and G scale. Every section of the orchestra gets melodic material, sprinkled with pizzicato throughout. Add a bit of bling with optional bells.

Wild West Hoedown Level 2.5

This bright change-of-pace work evokes the toe-tapping sounds of the old west as settlers circle the wagons round for a Saturday night hoedown. Featuring athletic, yet very playable fiddle-style tunes that wander throughout the ensemble, the music also uses simple double-stops and contrasting rhythms that keep things moving along.
