Black Cat Set Type:Full SetBlack Cat is a string orchestra adventure with a spooky Hallowe'en flavor. It incorporates meowing cats, tremolos foretelling eerie events, pizzicato suggesting stealthy cat movement, and loads of scary melodic material in the minor mode for all sections. Written at a level 2, it is a perfect early concert piece for developing string orchestras. A piano part is included for rehearsal, which may be used during performance at the directors discretion.
while sleigh bells fill the air and your auditorium with that unmistakable holiday spirit
and an adrenaline burst of joy when the afterburners kick in
and the dissonant ending fades to a final haunting chord
reminding everyone that with ordinary courage
Your string students can finally now experience performing Claude Debussy's masterpiece "Clair de Lune"
Rachel Jayson's Lexington High School Chamber Orchestra performed Andy Reiner's Blue Sky Basin (Grand Mesa Strings) in the National Orchestra Festival
The performers should take note of the new key (E minor)
is an energetic piece for young orchestra and percussion
Standridge has created a delightful aural visit to an imaginary pond
and feeling the wind in your face
Driving and energetic from start to finish
During the opening chord progression
