The French Quarter

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — This standard for beginning orchestras has got a new twist to it.xa0 I found that this melody was so much easier to teach in 4/4 than in 3/4.xa0 It is still in D major and contains no altered fingerings.xa0 The tempo marking of 100 is very playable for your younger students and the dynamic marking is always forte so that your orchestra can focus on the notes.xa0 Contains pizzicato and arco sections for upper and lower strings with the melody also in both the upper and lower strings.xa0 This easy 3-part harmony (Vln. 1, Vln. 2/Vla, Vlc/ Cb.) arrangement has bowings marked and is a great piece to show off your group when they are comfortable with the D scale.
