Product Description
This volume contains parts for songs
for every national US holiday. The songs are arranged for beginning string
orchestra (all first position), with additional parts for violin, viola and
cello using open strings only. You can purchase the score and one set of parts
at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/20826942
.
An accompaniment track is available
at https://youtu.be/SlkbjfKBdjc
. So you can play this with the accompaniment and any combination of parts. If
there are no violists, or if the cello part is too hard for your students, you
can play the songs with the accompaniment, and it will sound fine. In fact, I
have performed this piece with the violin open string parts only, along with
the accompaniment.
Please do not make copies of this. I know your project is underbudgeted and you are underpaid, and the photocopier is right down the hall. But this is my livelihood. So please, please, please, buy as many copies as you need. It's really cheap!
This is one of the Open String
Symphony series of music for string players of mixed skill levels. You can see
