Bach and Before for Strings

Four-part chorales are a great way to improve ensemble playing. �And, since each book includes all four voices - soprano, alto, tenor, and bass - there are a number of programming options. In addition to this, as the voice parts are individually rehearsed and learned, the students discover that all voice parts of a chorale are important. �When played in four-part harmony, the chorales become naturally expressive, because all students know all four parts and they understand which voice should predominate at any given time. �Students love playing chorales, because they sound so good! �The chorales range in difficulty from very easy to very sophisticated and are suitable for year two through high school string orchestras. �This is the perfect book for helping students master the important concepts of chorale performance.
