Composed by James Lockett. Bas. Set of Score and Parts. Duration 1:30. Carl Fischer Music #BAS88F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.BAS88F).

ISBN 9781491165133. UPC: 680160924042. Key: G major.

Using just 6 notes, Arco Echo explores G major in first position using only easy quarter- and half-note rhythms. A smooth detaché call-and-response between upper and lower string sections will help young students learn to listen across the ensemble, building confidence in simple three-part harmony with doubled Violin 2/Viola and doubled Cello/Bass. Optional piano is included for additional support, making this a fun first venture into independent counting.
Arco Echo is a lighthearted piece for beginning string orchestra. It falls within the range of the first year player. Young musicians can work on basic detaché bowing skills with a nice mix of half and quarter note rhythms, including some rests and minimal dynamic changes. All of the sections get a chance to play parts of the melody with an echo game of call-and-response between upper and lower string sections. The harmonies are very clear and direct, resulting in a solid concert selection that will give the young orchestra a big, confident sound.
