"My Shot" from the musical "Hamilton"

Pop Specials for Strings

Suitable for Level 3-4 String Orchestra

Hamilton is without question the most creative, talked-about musical to hit Broadway this millennium. In this stand-out selection from the show, the lead characters lay out their plans for victory, despite their personal hardships. This arrangement for strings and a vocalist is a clever way to connect students with American history!

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. 

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!
