Get ready to stamp your feet for fearless fun in this great piece for younger players. Everyone gets the line and each section can play fearlessly and with a sense of fun. Towards the end, don't be surprised if there is a quote from Tchaikovsky and a whiff of Brandenburg---it's all in the spirit of a good time! 'The Sailor's Hornpipe,' arranged by Sandra Dackow, is familiar to many listeners through its opening words, 'With a yo heave ho---and a slap upon the knee,' and it is easy to imagine foot stomps and slaps upon the knees of sailors accompanying their singing. This classic hornpipe will help your students with dexterity, playing in the lower half of the bow, and bow lifts! (2:25) / Orchestre A Cordes

Borrowing Mussorgsky's 'Promenade' from Pictures at an Exhibition the piece has twowalkers (violas) who take the listener with them onto the Via Della Fortuna then lead them from house to house.

The jubilant closing music refers to an earlier work (Geda's Weavings) based on Lithuanian folksongs.

This pensive, yet tuneful composition was written to honor the life and memory of a middle school band member in Mississippi. Although technically accessible by most first- or second-year bands, the emotional depth of the piece will provide an excellent vehicle for expressive growth and development.

Rosin up and let's riff and rock with THE heavy-metal standard from Deep Purple. Forget that it was a hit in the '70s and that strings don't typically “get down” a little because today's string kids will love it.Larry Moore has even provided a spot for an optional guest guitar soloist (like your principal who knows 3 chords on his vintage Les Paul). Dur: 4:00

Inspired by the overactive imagination of childhood, this piece examines the youthful fun of 'scary places' that make our skin tingle! Enjoy this musical portrait of scary, abandoned dwellings, and of the spirits that for some frightful reason seem to inhabit them. (6:40) / Orchestre A Cordes

Par KNOCKAERT PETER. The future of our fragile world is in our hands. As Sir David Attenborough stated on the Climate Conference in Glasgow on November, 1st, 2021: ?... We are already in trouble. The stability we all depend on is breaking. This story is one of inequality, as well as instability. Today, those who?ve done the least to cause this problem, are being the hardest hit. Ultimately, all of us will feel the impact, some of which are now unavoidable. ... We?re going to have to learn together, how to achieve this, ensuring none are left behind. We must use this opportunity to create a more equal world and our motivation should not be fear, but hope. ...? . We must be more caring about the wonderful place we live in... our unique home: Planet Earth. This music is both a shoutout to take care of our planet and a hymn to the beauty of this place. The composition is suited for stage as well as for the enjoyment in music school orchestral practice. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Orchestre de Cordes
