Here it is! A Grade 2 piece that really swings! Based upon the basic twelve-bar blues progression, this very playable original work will get your young strings in the groove as they learn to swing eighth notes in a jazz style. Your students will love the walking pizzicato bass line and Siennicki's very catchy and bluesy melody. Lots of fun!

The War of 1812 in America gave birth to some of the country's most beloved folk melodies and fiddle tunes. Here's an original overture where all the sections get a chance to explore those tunes, cleverly combined with famous melodic quotes, in both traditional and contemporary settings. The 8th of January, The Constitution Hornpipe, and The Constitution and Guerriere appear with distinctive old-time, bluegrass, country, and even Latin flavors. Optional opportunities for solo improvisation are also included.
