To the Stars

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — With unusual and unexpected harmonies in the piano accompaniment, this easy piece for beginning orchestra uses only simple quarter notes in unison to explore the mysterious celestial spheres. Remaining in the range of the D major scale with no shifting in the bass, young players can build confidence in counting, steady pulse, finger placement, détaché and staccato bowing, and intonation. A contemporary first concert piece that sounds much harder than it actually is! Download the free accompaniment track from the publisher website.
