I'm learning this in orchestra, I play the viola. This was helpful, thanks!

I love everything about this save the second to last two measures. The voicing or the chord all together, just doesn't sit right with me after what preceded it. That was spectacular! I'm teaching to both my 7th and 8th grade orchestras as advanced beginning strings in a NYC public school. They love it and agree with me about the ending. Bravo nonetheless and please come up with more.

I remember in 5th grade we went to a high school to practice with them on our collab for the next concert and this was one of our songs and our music teacher for my class would get so red in the face when someone messed up 💀💀

I am doing this for my spring concert! It's one of my favorites. This was extremely helpful since I have to play cello, which is my main instrument, and the bass string part.
