The musical effect of Prarie Lullaby should be graceful and serene, evocative of a peaceful night on the open plains. To that end, players will need to strive for an unlabored rhythmic flow, smooth bowing and a clear, steady tone as close to p as possible. Beginning at m.39, the violin and viola parts are marked pizzicato. If young players are unable to return quickly to argo at m.53, they may make the bow preparation easier by taking a full measure rest at m.52. This option is marked in the parts and score. The divisi notes at m. 69 are provided for ensembles which lack violas. Ensembles with violas may have them play the lower notes while the second violins play the upper notes. Percussion, which is completely optional, should be very subdued. Choose a bell mallet which allows the tones to be heard just above the strings. the woodblock part is intended to imitate the clip-clop sound of a horse's hooves. Two different sizes of woodblocks or temple blocks are needed. Finding two suitable sounds on one woodblock is difficult. Again, the right mallets are very important. The suspended cymbal should be played with brushes if the string ensemble is small. If the suspended cymbal with brushes cannot be heard above a large number of strings, then sticks should be used instead. The percussion part can be performed by one player, provided the instruments and mallets are set up properly and the player has the skill to make the transitions smoothly. Note the optional rest at mm. 53-54. Performance time with the repeat is two and a half minutes.

Orchestra string orchestra - Grade 1

SKU: KJ.SO343C

Composed by Jeremy Woolstenhulme. Arranged by Jeremy Woolstenhulme. Score and parts. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #SO343C. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.SO343C).

UPC: 8402704183.

Maiden' s Rescue, in D Major, includes note and rest values limited to quarter notes/rests, half notes, and whole rests. It can be successfully performed at a range of tempos, depending on the experience level of the orchestra. Rather than writing for 1st and 2nd violins, this piece features a single violin part.

Jeremy Woolstenhulme composed this work for his beginning string orchestra. He decided that it should be a programmatic work accompanied by a short story and artwork. Once students became comfortable with the music and story, Mr. Woolstenhulme assigned an art project to them! Some samples of their work are printed in this publication. Connecting music, creative writing, and visual arts strengthened the entire experience and students definitely enjoyed the process. Approx. time - 2:00

Steps to Successful Literature presents exceptional performance pieces - concert and festival works for beginning to intermediate string orchestras. Each piece is correlated with a specific location in String BasicsTM Books 1 or 2. Literature reinforces musical skills, concepts, and terms introduced in the method. Sometimes, a few new concepts are included and are officially introduced and defined in the score and parts. Each string orchestra work offers extended learning opportunities and briefly taps into one or more elements related to common core state standards.

Lower strings be sure to maintain a steady pulse and dont rush the walking figure at the opening. When the melody is transferred to the lower strings (pick-up to m. 10 and m. 13), play with a full sound. Be careful of the balance and allow the soloist to dominate in mm. 121. If the soloist is comfortable using third position, play mm. 119 and the first half of m. 20 one octave higher. All parts should be in a solid marcato style in the fast section (m. 22 to the end). In m.50, Violin I should bring out the Hava Nagila quote equal to the volume of the rest of the orchestra. Be sure to observe all the soft dynamics to add interest to the performance.

Parts for bongos, guiro, conga, claves and maracas are included.
