Moore, Foggy Mountain Breakdown - String Orchestra - Grade 3/4

"My Shot" from the musical "Hamilton"

Pop Specials for Strings

Words and music by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Arranged for String Orchestra by Larry Moore

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!

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.
