This was one of Stevie Wonder's signature hits from the 1974's and here is a masterfully arranged easy verison in a light bossa style. Trombones grab the spotlight in the beginning and again at the end. In between, the saxes and trumpets take turns with the melody, and there are short solos for tumpet and alto sax.
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)
A YouTube sensation by pianist Yiruma has been adapted for strings by Larry Moore in a concert piece that is ideal for today's students. In a contemporary, emotive style, River Flows in You is a super choice for pops-style program. Piano part is optional.
