String Orchestra

With one of Beethoven's most recognizable motifs, the Scherzo from Symphony No. 9 is symphonic classical literature at its very best. Treat your students to this energetic, rhythmic master work in triple meter.

Popularized by an extended segment in the original Fantasia film, this movement is an adaptation of the jolly country dance from the one of most accessible symphonies (Pastoral) by the master of the genre. Lively and energetic, this piece is filled with infectious good humor!

This lively movement is a masterpiece of hemiola, providing an opportunity for students to hone their counting skills. With strong, memorable themes featuring all sections of the orchestra and a beautiful middle section, this scherzo in minuet-trio form will have audiences whistling the melodies all the way home!

Custer - Grade 3

This new string work features seven German schottisch melodies combined in a light, whimsical program number. Following the familiar, rhythmic hop-hop-hop-step pattern, Schottisches gives a great opportunity to teach some traditional dance style music.

One of the best spy themes ever and it never seems to lose its appeal. The driving feel in a minor key and distinctive sleuthy half steps make it fun to play. Dur: 2:00

The jazzy style of this Oscar-winning film and Broadway show gives it great appeal to both players and audiences. Includes: And All That Jazz, Cell Block Tango, Roxie, and We Both Reached for the Gun.
