About this arrangement

String Orchestra - intermediate SKU: ST.Y251 Composed by Adam Carse. String music. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #Y251. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.Y251). ISBN 9790220222450.1. A Northern Song 2. A Northern Dance Both as as serious 'light music' and challenging repertoire for capable players of higher intermediate to advanced grade, these Two Sketches deserve a permanent place in the string ensemble repertoire. 'A Northern Song' is a brooding poem for muted instruments, three solo first violins and solo viola, close in atmosphere to the first Norfolk Rhapsody of Vaughan Williams. In contrast, 'A Northern Dance' is a carefree flourish, a counterpoint of unceasing semiquavers and sonorous cantabile melody, first on violas, then on fiddles, leading to an ebullient conclusion. The Two Sketches are recorded in Volume 4 of the Naxos English String Miniatures series.
