Hungarian Rhapsody #2 for String Orchestra Levels 3-4
A particular favourite of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, the most famous of Liszt's nineteen Hungarian Rhapsodies is now available in this carefully crafted arrangement for string orchestra. A sure-fire crowd pleaser!
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)
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.

Show your great sense of humour with this novelty piece that winds up creating near chaos in your ensemble! When the first violins join a local branch of the String Players Union, the other musicians and director soon learn that the union members must adhere to some hilarious performance guidelines. Accommodations include playing only some notes, giving the left hand a rest and even left hand free time! Staging possibilities are endless as this piece is easy to put together and is guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone in the hall!
