String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.510276 Composed by Frederic Chopin. Arranged by Alex Phillips-Yates. Classical,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and Parts. 18 pages. North Node Music #3563509. Published by North Node Music (A0.510276). Chopin's most instantly recognisable Polonaise, the Military Polonaise is lively and full of energy, and works very well as a piece for string ensemble. This arrangement can be performed with or without the double bass, and can also be performed as a string quartet (in this instance, the lower octave of the 1st violin double-stopping can be omitted). The change from A major to G major utilises the natural resonance of the string ensemble and avoids double-sharps.This arrangement was first performed by the String Orchestra of the Lancaster Community Music Centre, Lancashire, UK.

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.965600 Composed by Kevin Price. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 61 pages. Kevin Price #6246479. Published by Kevin Price (A0.965600). I would like to present my first string orchestra, Walk Among The Gods. It includes a director's score, as well as individual parts for Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Violoncello, and Contrabass. This composition is centered around Greek Mythology by highlighting a different character in each movement; Aphrodite, Hades, Kronos and Zeus.Aphrodite: Dance With The Goddess of Love is written as a Polonaise (Polish dance) in a Rondo format. This movement is taken at an Andante.Hades: March to the Underworld is a haunting march written in G minor. I composed this in cut time at an Allegro Moderato. This is definitely my favorite of all four movements. Kronos: The God of Time is comprised of many different time signatures to go along with its meaning; 5/4, 6/8, 12/8, 4/4, 6/4, 3/8 and 3/4.   Zeus: King of the Gods is meant to create a regal, but triumphant feel as the finale. I also had fun writing a good portion of this movement pizzicato. Enjoy!
