String Players Union for String Orchestra Level 2.5

Overture to Rienzi for String Orchestra Level 4.5

Relive the opera overture that lead to one of Wagners earliest successes! This setting fully retains all the thematic, rhythmic and musical intent of the original orchestra version. Orchestrated to stay true to the vast scope and dimension of the original setting, this exciting work will compliment any program as an overture or as a big-finish closer! 

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)

Skip Henderson/ arr. Larry Moore

Based on the traditional tune Fisher's Hornpipe and heard in the blockbuster film Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest
