Golden Grove is a celebratory and extremely versatile work! The majestic lines sweep throughout the ensemble amidst a backdrop of pulsating rhythms. Perform it with your developing ensemble alone, or add the included, more accessible supplemental parts. Whether students have just learned the first few notes---or even if they only know open strings---there is a part to include them! This is an exciting work by Brian Balmages with many performance applications! (2:20) Grade .5 to 1.5
