Published by Marsha Shapiro (A0.963581). Grade 3: Early Americans is an original composition for string orchestra which depicts the people from three periods of early American development: the era of the Native Americans, the Colonial Period and the time of Westward Expansion. In the first part (I Native Americans), solo celli imitates the beat of a drum over which the first violin plays a plaintive modal melody which is later layered in canonic style by the other strings. The second section (II Colonists) depicts the classical European dance style brought to the colonies with Yankee Doodle superimposed over the top. In the final section, Westward Expansion (III Pioneers) is symbolized by the square dance tune which is also posed in canonic style.

Canzonetta is a charming and melodic piece composed by George Whitefield Chadwick, an American composer from the late 19th to early 20th century. As a leading figure in American music, Chadwick’s works often reflect a blend of European Romanticism with American musical elements.“Canzonetta� itself is a term borrowed from Italian music, indicating a small or short song. Chadwick’s composition embodies this concept, offering a brief, lyrical, and expressive musical journey. It’s characterized by its flowing melodies, graceful rhythms, and emotive harmonies. Chadwick’s Canzonetta, originally for organ, often carries a delightful, almost dance-like quality that captivates listeners with its elegance and tunefulness.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.996559 Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Michele Winter, mwmusicworks.com. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 30 pages. MWMusicWorks.com #5316093. Published by MWMusicWorks.com (A0.996559). This arrangement for Grade 3.5 string orchestra is set in D major-up a half step from the original. The dynamics are Fauré’s. The bowings and articulations are editorial. The arrangement uses Fauré’s four vocal lines (SATB) and the harmonium part without its running triplets. Although the triplets have been left out, the harmonies and the cantabile character remain intact and convincing. None of the string parts go beyond 1st position, but players need to be familiar with extensions and unusual accidentals. Bow control and vibrato will contribute to a mature sound and help to dramatize the forte passages. This piece is perfect for concerts, festivals, and community events that require deeply moving music.  Share Fauré’s glorious French romantic harmonies with your students and their audiences.
