String Ensemble
Danger Zone
By Jocelyn E Kotchie
Regular price
$30.00
12 piano solos - for early-intermediate to late-intermediate (grades 1 to 5)Inspired by the demands of young male students for fast, dark and scary music - but not exclusively. Many young girls take pleasure in speed, and teenage girls relate strongly to rich dark textures and melodies which stimulate their emotional responses. The aim of these pieces is to cultivate sound technical development along with the requisite capturing of the imagination. Fast music provides a wonderful opportunity to work with and hone technical skills. Fast playing is most effective when countered with stasis or variation in the tempo.
Composed 2014

Dracula's Castle
By Simone Lobbia
Regular price
$50.00
String Ensemble for young musicians, c.9'00 (suggested grade 3)
Dracula's Castle is a short story depicted in Music.
The composition includes some extras that aim to help the Conductor. It includes a 3rd Violin part in place of the Viola part and a Cello2 part in place of Double bass. Due to the fact that the 3rd movement “Fuga/The Escape” is the most challenging in terms of technique, included is a facilitated score of this movement.
The composer's intent was to create a composition that teachers may use for didactic purposes in teaching music. The style of the composition itself is an example of “program music”. The purpose is to guide the listener so that he or she may be able to connect the story (narrative extra-musical part) to the music. It gives the teacher the opportunity to deepen the concept and provide examples of program music in musical history (e.g. Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition).
