Samba for a Sunday Afternoon for String Orchestra with Latin Percussion
Composers:- Sharp, Thom
Duration: 3
Description:
Take your students on an auditory trip to the streets of Brazil with this challenging samba from Thom Sharp. Written for string orchestra, drum set, and Caxixi (a large gourd shaker), Samba for a Sunday Afternoon provides the perfect opportunity to incorporate your school’s percussion students into your string program. Every section gets a shot at the melody supported by the rhythmic intricacies and contemporary harmonies found in the music of Brazil. Don’t be surprised to see your audience gently swaying in their seats or creating an impromptu samba line as your students play this dance-worthy Grade 4 samba. (Bonus idea: If your school has an active percussion ensemble, you could incorporate a whole samba drum line in place of the drum set!)
