Composed by Yoel Epstein. Arranged by Yoel Epstein. Holiday,Instructional,Patriotic. Score and parts. 53 pages. Yoel Epstein #3686153. Published by Yoel Epstein (A0.773313).This volume contains songs for every national US holiday. The songs are arranged for beginning string orchestra (all first position), with additional parts for violin, viola and cello using open strings only.
An accompaniment track is available at https://youtu.be/SlkbjfKBdjc . So you can play this with the accompaniment and any combination of parts. If there are no violists, or if the cello part is too hard for your students, you can play the songs with the accompaniment, and it will sound fine. In fact, I have performed this piece with the violin open string parts only, along with the accompaniment.
Important: This volume contains the scores and one copy of the parts. If you need more parts, please, please, please do not simply photocopy them. You can buy more parts at

for practically nothing! I know your project is underbudgeted, and money is short, and the photocopier is right down the hall. But this is my livelihood. So I am asking you to please buy your additional parts. Thank you.
