for String Orchestra Score and Parts. Par GUTHRIE WOODY. After a brief introduction the violas introduce the first melodic theme then pass it to the first violins in octaves as This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie, Level 4 arrangement by Ethan Epple develops. Epple sets the Americana stage in This Land Is Your Land through staccato, shifting to 5th position, creating a broad pitch range, pizzicato, syncopation and a key change moving seamlessly from D Major to G Major, while each instrument carries the melody and counter melody. Ethan Epple\'s version of This Land Is Your Land must be in your library for recruitment, Veterans Day, Flag Day, the Fourth of July, or just because This Land Is Your Land creatively rounds out your next concert. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

for String Orchestra Score and Parts. Par LONGFIELD ROBERT (Arr.). The Song of the Birds (El cant dels ocells) is a traditional Catalan Christmas carol. It was made famous by Pau (Pablo) Casals, who is considered one of the greatest cellists of all time. He was famous the world over and played for such notables as Queen Victoria, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. After Casals\' self-exile from Spain in 1939, he would open each concert with the playing of The Song of the Birds. In time, this song became an important symbol of his native Catalonia. The Song of the Birds has multiple stanzas each in the voice of a different type of bird expressing joy in the birth of Jesus Christ. Robert Longfield expresses this beautiful Christmas carol in legato singing lines using 2-3 part writing at Level 2.5. In recognition and honor of Pau Casals, the opening melody of Robert Longfield\'s arrangement is played by the cello section. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes
