More about this title
About the Artist: Shakira
Shakira emerged in the 1990s as a global music phenomenon, blending Latin rhythms with pop sensibility and a distinctly conversational lyrical voice. Her work across film, television, and concert stages has introduced millions of young listeners to infectious melodies paired with messages of resilience and joy.
Why we love this
Larry Moore's arrangement captures the song's infectious energy while keeping the writing accessible for developing string players. The 2-minute duration fits neatly into concert programming, and the underlying message about perseverance resonates beyond the Disney context, making it a smart choice for ensembles working through technical challenges or building confidence.
What to expect
Bright and purposeful, with the kind of forward-propelling energy that comes from a song built on encouragement. The arrangement stays faithful to the pop-sensible original while giving strings room to shine, creating a piece that feels both familiar and freshly orchestrated.
Who it's for
String orchestras at the grade 3-4 level looking for upbeat, contemporary repertoire that speaks to younger musicians. This works equally well for ensembles performing at school assemblies, community events, or concerts where an accessible, feel-good piece fits the bill.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the tempo buoyant throughout; this arrangement thrives when players feel the forward momentum rather than rushing.
- Balance the pizzicato sections carefully so they articulate cleanly without overwhelming the melody when it enters.
- Encourage dancers or staged movement if your program allows it; the piece's spirit invites physical expression.
- Let the first violins lead with confidence on the main theme, but remind them the message lands only when the whole section supports that line.
How to use it
Pair this with other uplifting contemporary repertoire to create a concert section celebrating resilience and determination, or use it as a standalone opener to set a positive tone. The approachable difficulty makes it ideal for mid-year concerts when students have built ensemble chops but may still be working through more demanding technical material.
