Grab your beret and take a walk along the Seine River or perhaps enjoy an espresso at a Parisian cafe! In this delightful level 2.5 piece in G Major, the string bass section shines as the jazzy chords in the orchestra accompaniment conjure images of a sunny day in Paris. The harmonies in this piece introduce young orchestra students to chords typically found in French cafe jazz music, in particular the "flat VI chord." While this piece highlights the bass section, it gives all sections plenty to do including trills, grace notes, and some optional third position work in the violins and violas.

Deliberate Diversions

Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Hal Leonard Corporation

"Hamilton" is without question the most creative, talked-about musical to hit Broadway this millennium. In this stand-out selection from the show, the lead characters lay out their plans for a victory, despite their personal hardships. This arrangement for strings and a vocalist is a clever way to connect students with American history!

My Shot

Alfred Publishing Belwin Division

This arrangement is simple enough for the violin, viola, or cello soloist of your choice!  Vivaldi's lyrical second movement, now in G Major, stays true to the original with the famous melody over pizzicato accompaniment. The violin solo is entirely in first position, and the viola and cello soloists only need to know the first three notes they learn in third position: D, E, and F sharp on the A string!

MakeMusic Publications

Inspired by old Northern European and Scandinavian fiddle music, this piece paints a picture of war long ago while also reflecting on the frustration and challenges of current events. Expose your students to a wealth of exciting string effects, including col legno, fingerboard slaps, snap pizzicato, and more. A highlighted solo violin and optional percussion help create an amazing Norse-influenced sonic landscape.

Battle

What could be more inspiring to your young players than playing with an advanced musician? Offer the solo to a local high school or college student, or even a pro in the area, and have them guest star at your next concert. Or, inspire your players by offering an easier version of the solo to be played by a member of your orchestra. It's a win-win situation for everyone! Your players will love the chance to play the lyrical lines and powerful, driving rhythms of Celtic music.

Celtica

Showcase your strings with fire and flair in the style of Riverdance and traditional Celtic music! Written by Robert Kerr and arranged for strings by Soon Hee Newbold, this air and jig is a dramatic finale to any concert. Dazzling violin solos (both lyrical and technical) and highly rhythmic passages accompanied by drum set really set this work apart. Optional piano and harp add to the sound of a work destined to bring down the house. A great closer!

Irish Legend

The smooth style of this '80s pop classic comes to life in this Grade 2.5 arrangement that features your star alto saxophone or violin soloist. While your soloist takes the spotlight at the opening and closing, the rest of your orchestra gets the chance to shine through the middle. A great choice for introducing young players to working with a soloist – and a guaranteed crowd pleaser for your audience.

Careless Whisper

No doubt about who gets featured in this fun, Spanish-flavored original by Richard Meyer! This piece is a great motivator for your up-and-coming young cellists and is a great change of pace for any concert program. Features a lyrical melody in the cellos set against a pizzicato accompaniment in the other strings, and includes parts for maracas and claves that can be spread among the sections. Your students will love this one!

Cellos Ole!

Take out the castanets because the violas are taking the stage, Spanish style! It begins in a paso doble reminiscent of a vigorous Spanish guitar solo, then moves into a major-key allegretto where the violas even get a chance to glissando!

Viva Violas

Showcase a student or bring in a guest artist to perform with your beginning students! Includes advanced solo violin and viola parts along with easier violin and viola solos as options. An included piano part works well for recitals as well as adding great harmonic support and color to the overall ensemble.

Beyond the Waterfall

Listen closely and you'll hear them coming...it's the Cello Squadron to the rescue!

Cello Squadron
