String Play Classics

David Brooker moves on in his popular Stringplay series with an ingenious new book that promises maximum flexibility - from a mixed duo right up to a full string orchestra. Detailed instructions help you choose an instrument for the melody, then add any other parts to the lineup in a way that exploits the strengths of your ensemble, however unbalanced it may seem at first, from open-string beginners up to Grade 3 students. A piano line is provided in the score; it's optional but can be useful to provide support for less experienced players. All the parts are provided as free downloads from the publisher's website - so you only have to buy the score, not a whole ream of parts you may never use! The arrangements include pieces by Bach, Handel, Arbeau - and Beethoven's evergreen Ode to Joy.
