String Orchestra Score & Parts

Pick 'n' Mix Strings

With multiple part options to suit all playing levels – whether advanced players, complete beginners, or all those in between – everyone will enjoy this new arrangement of the famous New Zealand sea shanty. The melodic interest of the verses is passed between instrument sections and develops musically throughout, while the catchy, repeated chorus provides a great hook for everyone to join together.
 
The concept of all Pick 'n' Mix Strings arrangements is that you just choose the parts that are most suited to your players – you don't need to try to cover every single possible part. If you don't have any players for the more advanced parts, this doesn't matter at all. Alternatively, experienced ensembles might want all players on advanced parts. You may well use a mixture of some advanced parts and other simpler parts. You can even have a very early beginner ensemble using just the parts for open strings and first fingers, with a teacher playing the main tune on piano. 
 
In addition to the regular score and parts, there are also optional versions of each part with the string fingering written in; letter names written in; an extension score; a a reduced score; an optional piano accompaniment; and an optional piano reduction. There are tried and tested suggested bowings included in all string parts. Should you wish to use alternative bowings to those printed, versions of the score and parts without bowing are available by request.

The four movement Symphonito No. 2 by Justino Perez embraces simplicity and flexibility, with two parts playable by any string
instrument, highlighting musical unity and shared purpose. The piece unfolds through four movements, each
exploring different aspects of playing together. The first movement, Andantino, opens gently with flowing
rhythms and crescendos that build tension through motion rather than volume, creating a calm, balanced,
and ever-moving texture. In Grandioso con Sentimento, the second movement expands with lyrical grace,
capturing the heart of the piece through sweeping phrases and rich harmonies. The third movement,Scherzo
– As Fast As Possible, bursts with playful energy, full of rhythmic fun and lively exchanges that keep
performers on their toes, moving forward with excitement and control. Finally, the finale picks up where the
Scherzo leaves off, with joyful confidence, exciting rhythms, and playful motifs that build a sense of unity,
ending gracefully as the ensemble comes together in perfect harmony.

A Summer String Celebration!

The piece was created specifically for developing string orchestras, with flexible parts that allow the combination of violins and violas into parts. 
La Cucaracha Con El Móno Colorado is a vibrant journey to Mexico through a special arrangement that combines two beloved folk songs: “La Cucaracha” (The Cockroach) and “Con El Moño Colorado” (With the Red Ribbon). This piece is a celebration of joyful melodies and the rich storytelling tradition of Mexican culture.  La Cucaracha has origins in Spain but became incredibly popular in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century. During that time, soldiers on all sides would make up new verses to the song, often to make fun of their opponents or to comment on the politics of the day. The "cockroach" in the song wasn't always just an insect; it often represented a political figure, like the unpopular president Victoriano Huerta. Con El Moño Colorado is a playful, charming folk song, often sung from the perspective of someone admiring a person or even a beloved animal wearing a colorful ribbon.

"Harp! The Faithful Angels Sing" is a festive medley of two Christmas classics: "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful". These works join forces to create an intermediate-level harp* concerto style with beginner-level flex-band accompaniment. As the two hymns mingle, the harp has an opportunity to shine with a short solo introduction and a longer showcase later in the piece.

*piano can substitute harp if not available

Harp! The Faithful Angels Sing

String Orchestra Flex Series allows for a creative organization of parts based on level and availability of instruments. Violas and violins can be combined into the Upper Voice One or Two. Large Cello sections may be divided between Lower Voice One and Two, or basses can be given an independent part.

Mission Jupiter's dark and sometimes dissonant harmonic language, melodic lines that appear in each part, and mildly syncopated rhythmics make for an excellent opportunity to practice musicality while providing an exciting and fun ensemble experience for young students.

Mission: Jupiter

For flex-ensemble with electronics. Spiders in my soup is your worst culinary nightmare come true. Imagine sipping what you thought was a delicious, warm, and comforting bowl of goodness, only to discover an eight-legged guest lounging comfortably amidst the vegetables, floating on a well-cooked noodle. The soup's once-appetizing aroma now turns stomach-churning, as the spider's presence infuses the air with a sense of unease and dread. Spiders in My Soup is a gastronomic abomination, a culinary catastrophe, a wild work for a flex-string orchestra that will leave even the most adventurous eaters shaken and disturbed.

Spiders in My Soup

Michael D Blostein

This is a collection of 3 works by Thomas Weelkes, taken from his collection "Madrigals to three, four, five or six voices" published in 1597. Each individual work - "Lo! Country Sport", "Our Country Swains" and "Now Every Tree" is used her to form a musical imagery of a renaissance triptych, hence the title. As such, although the individual movements may be performed separately, they are envisioned to be performed as a collection.

As with most madrigals, this collection relies heavily on counterpoint, and the concept that all voices are essentially equal. While the madrigal was original for voice without instrumental accompaniment, this collection replaces this concept with flexible instrumentation, allowing the string players to mix and match parts without the traditional balance demands of a string orchestra.

Scored for Violins 1 &amp; 2, basses and piano, Sanders creates a melodic work suitable when no violas or celli are available.
