A Chanukah Medley (for String Orchestra Full Score) New

This new, delightful, and playable medley features three well known Chanukah songs - The Dreidel Song, Chanukah Chanukah, and Rock of Ages. The opening should be at a relaxed, but fast tempo, (about quarter equals 106). Arranger Bobrowitz likes to be sure that all the instruments get to share important melodic material, so the high strings have it at 9, and the low strings at 17. A smooth transition, staying in tempo, takes us to the second selection Chanukah, Chanukah. Here the melody is passed from the high strings to the low strings and at 55, the pizzicato technique is introduced, giving the melody a new quality. The celli set the return to the final song which is back to arco for all. A relaxed moderate tempo, (quarter equals 78) should help keep the style broad and dramatic. Bar 91, is a reminder of the Chanukah, Chanukah song and serves as a fitting ending for this wonderful new winter selection!
