A wonderful opportunity for first year string players to work on legato bowing. After an original introduction, the full ensemble plays the African-American spiritual ?Deep River.? Cellos and basses usher in the early English folk song ?The Water is Wide,? and this delightful arrangement ends with a lovely treatment of the American classic ?Shenandoah.? Includes an educational packet with each part that features technical exercises, history, theory, composition, and more.
Concert/Contest; Festival.
