On a tour
of America in 1833 and
1834, the Franco/Flemish
violin virtuoso Henri
Vieuxtemps heard Yankee
Doodle. On returning to
Europe, he produced the
violin and piano
barnburner that was the
inspiration for this
string orchestra
arrangement. Everyone in
the orchestra gets a
crack at the melody and
some alternate notes are
provided for those with
acrophobia. This is a
must-have for those who
enjoy programming
patriotic music where the
fireworks are in the
string parts. (3:20).
