Catalonian Carols for String Orchestra So3 Sc/pts

Arranger LaPlante has taken two traditional melodies from the Catalonian (northeastern) region of Spain: Carol of the Birds and On Christmas Eve. Catalonia boasts a long and varied history of music and music making and from this music the arranger has tapped into a deep well of inspiration to create this rich and very musical setting for strings. The piece offers a great opportunity for expressive playing phrasing and exercising one's musicality without having to drill too much on technical difficulty. This fabulous setting will work well on a seasonal concert or as a festival selection.
