About This Collection
Description
String orchestra music spanning classical masterworks and contemporary film scores. Teachers are adding Elf by John Debney and Lover Girl by Laufey to their libraries, alongside foundational pieces like Ravel's Bolero for Strings and Brahms' Symphony No. 4, Second Movement. You'll find arrangements graded from 2 through 4.5, holiday selections, and programmatic works that engage students across multiple skill levels.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Elf by John Debney (Grade 2.5) and Lover Girl by Laufey (Grade 3), both widely adopted for their accessibility and student appeal. Bolero for Strings by Maurice Ravel (Grade 4.5) and Ancient Kingdom by Joshua Reznicow (Grade 3.5) anchor the collection for intermediate and advancing orchestras. Holiday Bows by Allison Buettner pairs seasonal repertoire with technical development in bowing techniques at Grade 2.
Recently added
