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.
Pirates of Caribbean arranged for String Orchestra
Disney's adventure film has become a must-see for audiences of all ages. Ted Ricketts adapted the film score for string ensembles with this well-paced medley that captures the most dramatic moments from the original soundtrack.
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.
