    Drowsy Maggie (Grade 2-3) for String Orchestra by Keith Sharp

    This piece is designed for a string orchestra and is titled after the image of the folio cover on the publisher's website. The folio includes parts for the string ensemble, the conductor's score, and piano accompaniment. Its grade level is 2-3, and its key is E minor. The duration of the piece is approximately 2 minutes.

    It is a fantasia on the traditional Irish reel, 'Drowsy Maggie,' and the arrangement works beautifully for violins and piano. The conductor's score has biographical information about the arranger.

    This Irish reel is a joy to play and is known for its ability to entertain the audience. The arrangement includes two difficult descant lines that require advanced violin skills. The piano accompaniment, tambourine, and simple cello line provide support. The piece can also be played with only violins and piano. For daring, it can be played at a very fast tempo!
