Steel City Strut

Description

Originally composed for the Turtle Island String Quartet and inspired by the R&B bands of the composer's hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, this piece will help young players become firmly grounded in the use of the blues scale. Using a basic shuffle rhythm and an unrelenting, rock-steady beat, the string orchestra will get in the groove and strut their stuff---and have fun---with this piece! (5:45)
