Discover the magic Beyond the Waterfall, a captivating piece for beginning string orchestra (Grade 0.5) and piano with an optional Grade 3 violin solo. Lush string harmonies create a flowing, dreamlike atmosphere, while twinkling piano lines reflect shimmering droplets of the water. The optional soaring solo line adds a touch of expressive beauty. This piece is equally an enchanting choice for young orchestras developing musicality or a great backdrop for more mature students beginning to explore vibrato. 11617591 String Orchestra . . . . . . . B/M 55.00 Binary 0101—Laura Estes. True to form, this cleverly titled work for the youngest musicians is a great piece to reinforce the first few notes learned on their instruments. Engaging and fun for young players! 11615076 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . B 45.00 Five Note Fiddler—Brian Balmages. Based entirely on just the first five notes of the D major scale, this is an ideal way to reinforce the D tetrachord while having a ton of fun in a fiddle- inspired setting. The melody playfully weaves throughout the ensemble as the music unfolds. Surprisingly sophisticated in sound, yet very approachable! 11568698 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . B 50.00 Hall of Heroes—Brian Balmages. This stunning fanfare by Brian Balmages uses only quarter notes and half notes. All instruments use just five notes (D to A) with the exception of Violin 1, which uses the full D major scale; yet all string crossings involve open strings. Despite its playability, Hall of Heroes is powerful, harmonically sophisticated, and highly compelling! 11619626 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . B 50.00 Honor the Brave—Victor Lopez. An original composition dedicated to all veterans who have served honorably on active duty in the armed forces. It celebrates those men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice and who have courageously played an essential role in shaping our country and ensuring the freedom that we enjoy. 11619607 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . B 50.00 Leapfrogs—Taryn Kroymann. Jump into the playful world of Leapfrogs, a piece crafted to help beginning-level students explore skips and bow lifts. The first half is entirely pizzicato, using simple quarter notes and rests so students can focus on their left-hand technique. The second half of the piece adds a new dimension with the inclusion of the bow. This is a great piece to showcase the growth of your beginning-level students. 11642887 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . B 55.00 Penguins at Play—Cooper Ford. Penguins are very playful birds that love to slide – now, the orchestra gets to join in the fun! It's a playful introduction to glissandos on all instruments. The games don't stop there as melodies are tossed between different instruments and rhythmic play abounds. Violin 2 and viola are doubled, as are cello and bass. An entertaining addition to any winter concert! 11621732 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . B 50.00 Spring Fest—David Hinds. Composer David Hinds brings the sounds of spring to life in this energetic and playful piece.
