This original by one of the industry's top writers begins as a leisurely chorale that tunefully moves into a march.

The optional percussion part (2 copies included) for snare drum, bass drum and crash cymbals complements the march style nicely. Duration 2:40 (without optional repeat). Available in SmartMusic.

This collection of seven pieces is suitable for young string players in the early stages of orchestral playing. The rhythms and notes used in all the parts are still quite basic, the third violin/viola being the easiest, but the overall effect is very satisfying for performer and listener.
