Handel Album - A Suite of Five Pieces arr. for String Orchestra

Listen

Description

Displaying Handel's amazing versatility as a composer, this album includes a masterful Chaconne and haunting, expressive Sarabande (with two fascinating variations!), as well as two of Handel's best-known dance movements, the Bourrée and Hornpipe from Water Music. Players throughout the ensemble will be challenged to shift into lower positions and to master on- and off-the-string bowing styles. Excellent material for concert and recruitment programming. String Orchestra (8 8 6 6 4) with optional Piano.
