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.
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.
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.
