March from Second Suite Set Type:Score

March from Second Suite Set Type:ScoreInitially written for military band, the first movement of Holst's "Second Suite in F" is comprised of three British folk tunes which were originally performed on string instruments. The key has been changed to D major for ease of fingerings. The cellos and violas will delight in long extended melodies where they can shine. This superb arrangement is a great way for your students to experience playing the music of Holst.

composed by Leland Forsblad

then slow and dreamlike music

("Te Quiero Tanto" translates to "I Love You So Much") This gentle and beautiful Danza from the Cuban master combines the rhythms of Latin American popular music with the harmonies of European Romanticism

this very original work by David Bobrowitz musically describes an earthquake and its consequences

and combines the two themes at the end for a rousing conclusion

As the piece uses no bowings and only open strings

finds a perfect way to make playing scales fun while painting a musical picture of the step-saving device of the title

the four note motif occurs in stretto

will challenge and inspire young musicians to think

It is danced by a man and a woman and is flirtatious in nature

the first violins bring on the deluge with accessible third position arpeggios

and as of 2014 still remains missing
