Par ALBENIZ ISAAC. A spell-binding exploration of the music of Spain, Fantasía Española features four exciting yet contrasting sections and challenging parts for all players. Three of Spain's most famous composers are represented in this medley arranged by Bob Phillips. The piece begins with an exciting, driving excerpt from 'Asturias (Leyenda)', by Isaac Albéniz, which, though written for piano, is most often heard on guitar. The setting of this section allows the violins and violas a display of virtuosity with its unrelenting rhythmic drive. Beautiful, lyric, and emotional, 'Tango in D,' also by Albéniz, will showcase the musicianship of the entire orchestra. Originally written for piano, the strings will shine in this second section of the arrangement. The third section is the slow and lyric, 'Adelita.' Drawn from the deep treasure of Spanish guitar music and written by the father of classical guitar, Francisco Tárrega, this piece is simply beautiful. The medley concludes with 'Danza Ritual del Fuego' from the ballet El Amor Brujo. Written by Manuel de Falla for full orchestra, the string setting drives to a fabulous and dramatic finish.(5:45) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Andrea Bocelli's signature song has become an international hit and has great appeal with all audiences. Your string orchestra will enjoy Ted Ricketts' arrangement that captures the emotion and musical sensitivity of this memorable song.

A terrific multicultural addition to any beginning holiday concert, this arrangement by Sandra Dackow is a spirited rendition of three traditional German carols. These contrasting carols---'Lasst uns froh und munter sein,' 'O Come Little Children,' and an unnamed traditional tune---are a fun way to introduce cut time and reinforce bow lifts to young string players.

The inspiration for this unique composition came from the charming Iroquois folk melody Ho Ho Watanay and the ancient Ojibwe legend of the dreamcatcher. It was believed that the magical webs of the dreamcatcher would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter the mind. Robert's craftsmanship and orchestration for younger players has made this a winner for contest or concert programming.

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
