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.
Themes from Carmen for String Orchestra Level 3.5
This accessible yet authentic arrangement is based on four well-known themes from Bizet's popular opera:
- Prelude
- Aragonaise (Dance of Aragon)
- Habanera
- Dance Boheme (Gypsy Dance)
From the foreboding introduction to the dancing and swirling ending, this spectacular arrangement has it all!
