From the Heart

Written as a lyrical tribute to a beloved retiring teacher, this Grade 2.5 string orchestra work with optional piano flows with warmth and gratitude. Singing melodies pass gently across sections over arpeggiated cello lines, with light syncopation, hooked bowings, and key changes between D and G adding engaging teaching opportunities. A brief violin solo enriches the texture to create a meaningful concert or festival selection that helps students express musical maturity while remaining accessible to younger groups.
