Alshin: Danny Boy For String Orchestra

Category: String Orchestra ** Composer: Alshin, H. ** Title: Danny Boy ** Publisher: Alfred Publishing Company ** Comments: Grade 3, Set C.

Harry Alshin has adapted this timeless love song to the accessible key of D Major. Cellos start the opening phrase which is then passed to the violins. The counter melodies are carefully interwoven for adding a rich inner texture. Along with the alternate parts, this beautifully done arrangement would be a splendid combined festival orchestra performance piece. All parts are within first position range with optional fingerings for advanced players.
