String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1420325 Composed by Travis Patton. Arranged by Travis Patton. Celtic,Chamber,Contemporary,Folk,Instructional,Irish. 24 pages. Travis Patton #1001793. Published by Travis Patton (A0.1420325). Sissy Britches is an original composition arranged for string orchestra or string quartet. This piece begins like a dramatic symphony which will seem familiar to some students, but then it kicks into a minor Celtic reel (Celtic dance in common time). First violins will enjoy the fast fiddling melody and string crossings, while the other sections enjoy syncopated rhythmic accompaniment. The reel shifts into an old time (a style of bluegrass) melody and includes the cello and bass sections playing the melody. A chorale-like section gives students a break from fiddling and a chance to employ delicate legato playing. It concludes with the reel melody in the upper strings, while the lower strings carry a heavy quarter note drive. The quick fugue-like outro provides another technical moment for the orchestra, containing a flashy finish.Composed and Arranged by Travis Patton. Find more at www.travispatton.com.
