Old Molly Hare [Alf:00-23379]

In this fresh arrangement of a traditional, old-time fiddle favorite, every member of the orchestra gets lots of chances to play the up-beat tune. The straight-forward melody is approachable by all, and the authentic-sounding variations and key changes will challenge even advanced players. A series of soloistic "breaks" can be performed by individuals or entire sections, and the inclusion of optional chord symbols provide opportunities for improvisation. This creative setting of Old Molly Hare will provide motivating learning experiences for students, and will add invigorating old-time style and drive to any concert program.
