Using the popular English folk song, arranger Virginia Croft brings a new setting of Early One Morning, which lends itself beautifully to the performance by a young string orchestra. The melody is initially introduced by the first violins and then passed along seamlessly to the other orchestral voices, all with a smooth, legato style. Duration: 3:48.
This old English folk song lends itself beautifully to the performance by a young string orchestra. The lovely melody is initially introduced by the first violins and then passed seamlessly into other orchestral voices, all with a smooth, legato style.Paying close attention to the dynamics, especially in the supporting voices, will greatly enhance the effect of the melody and its melodic motives whenever they occur. Let each phrase rise and fall with the musical line,especially in the duet between violin II/viola T.C. and cello, and then building to the final restatement of theintroductory motive.This is a great number for teaching and practicing both expressive phrasing and full bow, legato playing.
