Description
As performed in the fabulous Trans-Siberian Orchestra live concert, experience "Trepak" from The Nutcracker as you never have before. Though greatly enhanced by adding a rhythm section, the piece can be played by strings alone. An optional electric violin part provides the perfect spot to feature an electric instrument. If you haven't seen TSO, check them out online and then share this one with your students. Perhaps include a field trip to see the band live with lights and effects.

We played this song last year in 2018. I love hearing it, playing it was another story. It was still fun though.

Somehow the cellos are blessed with three of the best parts in the song, and around said parts are easy sections that keep the song moving forward, so it's just super fun for cellos😊
