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.
Once again Lady Gaga has struck a nerve with this driving and catchy blockbuster hit. This up-tempo rock arrangement is characterized by a syncopated, rhythmic pulse and tuneful melody.
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.
