Snow Suite
JW Pepper Editors' Choice GRADE 1 String Orchestra This charming suite for beginning orchestra brings the magical joy of snowy scenes to life. In three short movements, players will experience the delicate lightness of "Snowflakes," an all-pizzicato melody; the fury of a "Snowstorm" set in easy E minor; and the graceful dance of "Snow Angels" in lilting 3/4 time. Supported by an optional piano accompaniment, young performers will develop confidence playing simple rhythms within the range of the D major scale, plus a few surprise notes on the G string. At just 3 minutes total, this winter concert feature is short and "suite"! |

Jingle Bells for Multi-Level Orchestra
Caryn Wiegand Neidhold LUDWIGMASTERS Grade 2.5/1.5/0.5 2022 JWPepper Editor's Choice Caryn Wiegand Neidhold devised a bubbly, multi-level arrangement of Jingle Bells with a dollop of holiday tradition and a dash of contemporary rock. Level 2.5 students work on their spiccato skills and pass the melody from section to section, and beginners get to play a piece they know well with the big kids. This piece stands alone for level 2.5 orchestra, has the opportunity to include level 1.5 students, and works wonderfully to feature beginning students. The optional drum set part kicks up the energy for a grand finale. Jingle Bells for Multi-Level Orchestra is perfect for including your first-year students and a great way to brighten the holiday season. |
