String Orchestra - Grade 1 SKU: KN.8815
Composed by John Caponegro. Playground String Orch. Accent String Orchestra. Kendor Music Inc #8815. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.8815). This lively march theme introduces beginning players to percussive col legno bowing techniques; rests before and after the col legno section allow sufficient time for players to adjust their bow grip. The piano part in each set is optional, but Caponegro says that use of the percussion part for snare drum, bass drum, and cymbals is mandatory for establishing a convincing march style. If directors do incorporate percussion instruments as he suggests, however, they must play at a dynamic level that doesn't overwhelm the strings.
