Circus Treats (Stephen Chin) for String Orchestra

Everyone loves the thrill and fun of a circus!  The Carousel is a simple yet effect waltz where the melodic line is shared between the parts. Young players also learn to play off the beat when they are accompanying. In Siberian Tigers, players can really bite into the string and project a robust tone whilst  imagining the strength and majesty of the tigers strutting around. Happy – Sad Clowns cleverly contrasts major and minor tonalities without going out of familiar beginning finger patterns. Grade 1.
