| Another great pop hit that's just right for strings! Just like Viva la Vida, Coldplay's mega-hit has great appeal to student players with its infectious riffs and energetic drive. Robert's arrangement captures the groove perfectly for string ensembles who want to learn and perform contemporary airplay songs. |
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.
Overture to Pulcinella by Igor Stravinsky
Arranged by Robert D. McCashin
Featuring the overture of Stravinskys landmark work, this adaptation was drawn from the original piano/vocal ballet score, and retains all of the original, well-known thematic and rhythmic material. An ideal way to feature several soloists within the ensemble, this outstanding string arrangement will delight players and audience alike!
Hamilton is without question the most creative, talked-about musical to hit Broadway this millennium. In this standout selection from the show, the lead characters lay out their plans for victory, despite their personal hardships. Arranged for strings and a vocalist by Paul Lavendar and Larry Moore, this is a clever way to connect orchestra students with contemporary music.
