Beschreibung
The Fiddle Fiesta became an important annual event for Bedfordshire Music
Service at least thirty years ago and was the brainchild of a highly
individual lady called Barbara Cann. The main purpose of this was to give
less experienced string players an opportunity to play in a large ensemble,
these young players were helped on such occasions by more senior students who
were already experienced in ensemble playing, perhaps in one of the youth
orchestras. What began as an isolated event soon spread to many schools and
nowadays 'Fiddle Fiestas' take place in numerous venues across the county
every year, usually during the summer term. This suite of short movements
borrows its title from these annual events and is aimed at being performed
under similar circumstances. Each of the five parts (violins 1 & 2, violas
and/or violin 3, cellos and basses) exists as part 'a' and part 'b', part 'b'
being a simplified version of part 'a' such that the piece can be played by
virtually any combination of available players, albeit with some loss of
detail when played predominantly with parts 'b'. Additional string parts
are available independently, quickly and at little cost. Please do NOT
photocopy this music! Individual parts for all Spartan Press ensembles are
available separately, quickly and inexpensively. DO NOT PHOTOCOPY.
