Hornpipe (Neridah Oostenbroek) for String Orchestra

Hornpipe is a moderately easy piece in D major written for a young ensemble. The catchy opening melody is shared among the instruments and there are interesting countermelodies and articulations in all parts. The middle section provides a rhythmic change before the opening melody returns with a 1st violin variation. This is an exciting piece that all students will enjoy!
