Haydn Suite in Three Movements Bulgarian Folk Song

Haydn Suite in Three Movements Bulgarian Folk Song"Haydn Suite" for string orchestra is a three movement arrangement of various works by the Austrian composer, Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 1809), including the "Surprise Symphony" theme, a piano Minuet, and the "Emperor's Hymn". These three works create a superb set of short movements, and a very authentic way for young string orchestra players to experience the Classical style.

Hector Berlioz wrote his "Symphonie Fantastique" in 1830

It works at a number of tempos

I had an awesome viola section that was always “ready to go

The piece has much to interest the performers

this charming new work for string orchestra features a spritely original tune which hops along through a series of variations before incorporating Beethoven's famous "Ode to Joy" theme from his 9th Symphony in a refreshing original setting

and the arrival at the river are all described musically

Creepy sounds from a few percussion instruments
