By Brian Balmages. Beginning String Orchestra. FJH Beginning Strings. This fun-spirited fiddle tune begins with a unison statement of the theme, then gradually expands in harmony until the entire ensemble is into the groove. While the theme develops, the initial pizzicato in the low strings serves as the rhythm section of the group. Other members of the orchestra take over this rhythm section, including violas (and optional violin 3), stomping and clapping as the hoedown begins to roar. As is characteristic of much fiddle music, Hey Fiddle Fiddle! is based mostly on open 4ths and 5ths. These intervals become the focus of the piece at measure 49, where violins and violas trade phrases back and forth with low strings. One final build brings the tune back for a stirring conclusion.

When you have the good fortune to visit Red Rock country in the southwestern United States, you will all at once feel that majesty and beauty in the towering red landscape. You can trek, bike, paddle, ride horseback or drive through the canyons, past the strangely shaped rocks and over the enormous boulders. Each time you turn a corner you will be dazzled by yet another magnificent vista. The Red Rock areas in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico formed millions of years ago when that part of North America was primarily under water. The water left behind the shells and skeletons of sea creatures that gradually turned into limestone and similar rocks. Beginning 225 million years ago, the earth's crust began to move and the seabed slowly rose. Streams entering the shallow water deposited mud and sand that turned into shale and marine sandstone. As the land continued to rise and dry out, some of the rocks oxidized (combined with oxygen) and turned red in color. Subsequently the area was covered with sands that eventually compressed into what is called Aztec sandstone. Sometimes, when iron was concentrated in the rock, the sandstone turned a bright red color. Following the introduction, the music in Red Rock Rag takes on a typical ragtime melody and rhythm. It then transitions by changing key, time signature and the structure into a swing waltz. At m. 60, it moves into a combined time signature of one measure of 3/4 time and two measures of 2/4 time with an occasional lick in the bass line. Finally, it moves back into the swing-waltz style and finishes with the original ragtime melody. Red Rock Rag is challenging stylistically and rhythmically. It would be appropriate to study both the ragtime and swing styles while working on it.

This gentle arrangement of the Christmas classic Silent Night will help young string players in the development of legato playing. All countermelodies must be balanced with the main theme. The eighth notes should be played evenly in a legato style. If the students have good bow control it is recommended that slurs be used for each measure of eighth and quarter notes as in the Violin II/Viola part at the beginning. If students are not advanced enough to play the slurs, have them play as legato as possible without slurring. Performance Time: 1:55.

A popular holiday favorite performed and recorded by today's top artists including Luciano Pavarotti, this new arrangement is flowing and makes good use of the shifting tonalities of the beautiful piece. The warm harmonies and exquisite lyricism will make.
Gesu Bambino is the most recognized composition by Italian composer Pietro A. Yon (1886-1943). A respected concert organist, Yon was organist at the Vatican as well as St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City from 1926 through 1943.We begin with a gently flowing rhythmic pattern in the celli which establishes the 12/8 meter. Throughout the piece Yon uses the traditional Christmas carol O, Come All Ye Faithful as a countermelody. This first occurs with a short quote when the second violins enter in measure 3. The first violins entire in the pick-up to measure 5 with Yon's main melody. Careful attention to dynamics should be paid throughout, but especially in cases such as measure 9-10 where they change dramatically from piano to forte. The pick-up to measure 14 has the viole and celli playing the O, Come All Ye Faithful countermelody through measure 21. This occurs again in the first violins with the pick-up to measure 32. Make full use of the crescendo in measure 53. Played with warmth and reverence, this will be an effective showcase for the orchestra.- Roy Phillippe.
