for String Orchestra
The Highland/Etling String Orchestra Series
This stately grade 1.5 piece, "Coronation of the Queen" by Susan H. Day, uses easy rhythms, features interesting harmonies and memorable melodies, and reinforces low 2nd finger on D and A strings. Imagine a royal procession and celebration with crowds cheering as their beloved Queen passes by.
You can hear the rhythmical chant "Here Comes the Queen," and that quarter--eight--eight--half-note rhythm is found throughout the rest of the piece in all parts. Visualizing the story will bring this music to life!
