It's rare that a string orchestra piece of this grade level has this kind of energy. So often Grade 4 pieces take advantage of the fact that a mature group can milk a slow piece with vibrato, balance and blend, but sometimes you just want to let your horses loose and let them run! Here is your chance! With tempo markings of 152 and 144 for the "slow" section, your top orchestra can really strut their stuff with this Coplandesque romp that could work as the soundtrack for an American travelogue with its sixteenth note runs, syncopated melodies, snap pizzicatos and various meter changes. It's a happy handful everyone will enjoy!
