Complete Orchestra Works
This is an excellent piece for beginning strings that will bring out a strong sound and build confidence in all sections. Using only the notes within a one-octave D scale, it is a plaintive melody in the relative minor (B minor) that can be used in several ways. It can be performed in unison, a two-part canon or even a three-part canon. It's a great piece to show players how far they have come!

Christmas in the Renaissance uses three songs originating during the Renaissance: Riu, Riu, Chiu; Dadme Albricias Hijos d’Eva and Ding, Dong Merrily on High. All three songs began their lives as dances, so the music should be light and energetic. The percussion part adds to the character of the music.
