The Dancing Peppers – OLÉ! for String Orchestra by Keith Sharp

"The Dancing Peppers" is a delightful and cheerful piece of music featuring repetitive patterns reminiscent of a famous Mexican theme. This composition is enjoyable to play and offers an excellent opportunity for string music teachers to teach their students various elementary techniques that can help develop and refine their left- and right-hand technical skills.

The piece's middle section contrasts with the rest and modulates to G major. It allows students to explore techniques such as detaché and staccato strokes, pizzicato, and scalic figures. The musical parts are well-balanced, ensuring that all ensemble sections participate enthusiastically. Additionally, the piece comes with an optional piano accompaniment.

Fred Hubbell, March of the Metro Gnome String Orchestra (Kendor Music)

Designed as a first concert piece for beginners, this enduring favourite (released in 1968) limits rhythms to nothing shorter than a quarter note, includes no slurs, provides ample bowing reminders, and may even be performed minus basses without sacrificing musical integrity. The percussion part for wood block, however, must be used since its steady quarter-note pulse represents the sound of a metronome.

Sharp, La Llarona For String Orchestra

“La Llorona” is a 6-minute programmatic piece for a high school string orchestra with optional percussion. It tells a story based on a Spanish/Mexican legend of La Malinche, a noble Aztec girl sold into slavery to Mayan merchants. The music starts with an Entrada, signalling the arrival of the Spanish fleet led by Cortés, who colonized Mexico.

La Malinche was a translator and mistress to the conqueror Cortés. She had twin boys with him, but when he was convinced to return to Spain with a Spanish aristocrat, La Malinche realized the hopelessness of her situation and drowned herself and her children in a nearby river.
