Par SPATA DOUG. Beginning string students will have a diabolically good time with this all-pizzicato selection. Gleefully sinister melodies pass between all sections and simple quarter and half note accompaniment parts help keep everyone together. The optional piano accompaniment sets the pace with even 8th notes, helping young players subdivide their rhythms. Part independence and note range are minimized while doubling and repetition are emphasized, making this an easy piece for kids to master. Midnight Mischief by Doug Spata is a fun piece that kids will love to play while supporting essential ensemble playing and listening skills.

for Strings Score and Parts. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Sinfonia No. 15 by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally for piano solo, is now available for string orchestras because of Shirl Jae Atwell\'s musical arrangement. Sinfonia No. 15 arranged in the original key of B minor, with an altered time signature from 9/16 to 9/8, is much more friendly for student musicians. Bach\'s Sinfonia No. 15, arranged by Atwell, is a great addition to string orchestra programs through dance-like eighth notes and flashy sixteenth-note arpeggiated sections creating an exciting Baroque experience. Teachers will love exploring the key of B minor, arpeggios galore for all instruments, bow distribution with 1/16ths as well as sustained notes, and the overall Baroque style found in this string orchestra arrangement by Atwell. Sinfonia No. 15 treats orchestras and audiences to the allure of the Baroque Era. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes
