String Orchestra

A bold theme with power chords and a driving rock beat will make this '80s sports theme a must-play with your students. This version is arranged specifically for developing groups with approachable ranges and rhythms.

Originally written as a concerto for two violins, this impressive final movement is string ensemble writing that will give developing groups confidence, yet create a very musical performance with its carefully marked dynamics and section contrasts. This is Baroque style teaching material at its very best.

A classic song from one of popular music's most revered artists is now available for string groups with this superb arrangement by Larry Moore. James Taylor's Fire and Rain has become a trademark of his simple, enduring style that communicates so well with its listener. Dur: 2:20

As recorded by Mannheim Steamroller, here is another of Chip Davis' most notable carols, transformed into a contemporary pop style that connects with all audiences.

Solid ensemble writing for your holiday performances.

This carol is often heard at the holidays with its Renaissance-like tune and simple harmony. Lloyd Conley's version for young strings brings interesting lines that work with the melody, changing dynamics and textures, and tasteful, optional percussion. Dur: 1:50
