Parrish, Todd: Sparta

Take a trip back to Ancient Greece with this fun and energetic work! It contains many educational features to help improve technique. Students will encounter two-note to six-note slurs, pizzicato, staccato and legato bowings, rhythms in 3/4 time, and dynamic contrast, along with an emphasis on playing octaves. The powerful melody is carefully woven throughout all parts while the accompaniment reinforces anchoring the first finger for better intonation.
