IN OLD MELBOURNE TOWN depicts the vibrant, dynamic energy of the city after which it is named, Melbourne, Australia. An upbeat, syncopated melody featuring the eight note/quarter note/eighth note rhythm characterizes the Allegro section, which opens after a four-bar Maestosos introduction. A slow, lyrical middle section introduced by the flutes contrasts nicely with the strong, upbeat finish.

Back and Forth gets its title from the different rhythm section grooves alternating throughout the piece. The beginning features a relaxed Cumbia-type feel (a dance style from Guinea), while the bridge provides a bossa-nova feel. A suggested solo is provided in the violin, viola, and cello parts, but players can improvise as they wish using notes from the G Major scale. Completely accessible and fun for everyone!

Selected from a chorus in Haydn's oratorio, The Creation, this beautiful arrangement makes a great Classical addition to any concert. Staying in C Major and 1st position - except for a few brief moments in the bass part - this is a great choice for developing the musicality of the string orchestra's classical sound without spending all of rehearsal time on technical issues.
