Cathedral Grove is a magnificent park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, containing some of the oldest and largest trees in the world. It is the towering, majestic pillars of these ancient giants and the quiet serenity of this place that inspired this music. Robert Buckley's work, originally conceived for full orchestra, has been adapted into a rich and dramatic opus for strings.
Recorded by American pop group Walk The Moon, this upbeat rock hit has already demonstrated remarkable longevity. Carefully crafted for string groups, this lively tune is fun for all players, and sure to be a great student motivator.
Arranged here for flexible soloist and strings, this haunting melody from Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla provides an impressive showcase for a violin, flute, or oboe soloist. Beautifully scored for string orchestra and carefully paced.
