Lindsey Stirling's infectious solo violin stylings and video productions have made her an international phenomenon and a pop superstar for young musicians. Her hit medley of traditional carol melodies, mixed with driving Celtic dance rhythms, has been skillfully recast for string orchestra by Sean O'Loughlin.
Recored by South Korean rapper PSY, this stylized smash hit has taken pop culture by storm with a viral video (almost 2 billion views!), TV appearences, parodies, and even flash mobs. Make room for exuberant audience behaviour.
Two lively Irish/Celtic jigs, one in major and one in modal/minor, are skilfully scored for developing groups in this delightful medley for strings. The tuneful folk melodies are ideal for introducing triple-based meters to younger string students. Includes: Father O'Flynn's and The Gobby-O. (2:14)
Music by Michael Giacchino. Arranged by Robert Longfield. Published and distributed by Hal Leonard.
