Esprit de Corps – String Orchestra Grade 1

Playing together as a team is the name of the game inEsprit de Corpsby Doug Spata! This cheery all-pizzicato march uses only the 1st-pattern notes of the D major scale. Part independence is minimal, and, in fact, many sections are homorhythmic, which will help beginners learn to listen to each other as they play. Teachers will love the counting and note-reading experience this piece provides, while students will adore the animated tunes and bouncy, melodic accompaniments. (2:10)
