Old Joe Clark is a string orchestra arrangement of an American fiddle tune. It is a mountain ballad that was popular among soldiers from eastern Kentucky during World War I and afterwards. Its lyrics refer to a real person named Joseph Clark, a Kentucky mountaineer who was born in 1839 and murdered in 1885. This string orchestra arrangement emulates the way a bluegrass band might play this music.
All the parts come with a "Building Blocks" page and an "Orchestra Arrangement" page. Students can learn the tune in unison before trying to chop, add the break or add the bass line. All parts get the melody, including a spot for the basses.
