The ever-popular Beatles…for Orchestra! Wednesday, November 10, 2010
STRING TEACHERS! You probably program a Pops Concert some time during the school year, so for a fresh new batch of outstandingly programmable popular and other lighter string orchestra titles, check out Hal Leonard Publishing’s national orchestra mailer that you should have gotten recently. Here are Stanton’s top choices of the best sounding, most educationally valid selections from Hal Leonard’s pop music offerings.
THE FAB FOUR
Grade 3/4, Lennon & McCartney/arr. Larry Moore
Terrific, playable medley of Beatle favorites Eight Days a Week, Yesterday and Can’t Buy Me Love.
A HARD DAY’S NIGHT
Grade 3/4, Lennon & McCartney/arr. Larry Moore
A classic Beatles song comes all ready for your string players to perform with confidence.
YESTERDAY
Grade 2, Lennon & McCartney/arr. Larry Moore
Finally available in a stand alone, very playable arrangement – probably the most memorable Beatles ballad.
