Publisher's Synopsis
New repertoire for flexible string ensembles from Flying Strings! Perfect for group lessons and junior ensembles.
Flying Strings' Pick-A-Part scores have been arranged by Audrey Akerman to create flexible options for young string ensembles. Pick-A-Part repertoire can be assigned to any combination of Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass to support duets, trios, quartets, quintets or ensembles. Each score contains four parts for each instrument and the melody may be played by any instrument or string section. Each Pick-A-Part score also contains a teacher's piano accompaniment as well as a simpler student accompaniment to encourage collaborative student learning. All parts are colour-coded and are designed to make string ensemble playing engaging and enjoyable for young musicians and to create flexible options for teachers and conductors.
Mozart Miniatures
These compact and enjoyable pieces of Mozart can be performed individually or in selected medleys. All pieces are in the related keys of G major or D major, allowing them to be played consecutively in any order without a break. Use the final note of one piece as the counting in note of the next piece to play a continuous medley.
You can play a piece first in unison then repeat it in full harmony to add variety, or play the repeats in a different arrangement
(or with just the melody) each time.
The melody is approximately Grade 1 standard. It can be played alone or with any or all of the other parts.
Harmony 1 is more difficult.
Harmony 2 is easier to play.
Harmony 3 is very easy.
Notes in brackets in the melody lines of the teacher's score are for the lower pitched instruments.
