Accolade

An accolade is an award or special honor for a great achievement. This piece for beginning string orchestra showcases newly learned skills, using mostly unison rhythms, stepwise motion, and simple quarter- and half- note rhythms within the range of the D major scale. Violin 2 is doubled with viola and cello doubles bass to build confidence in playing independent parts. Feel the pride of accomplishment in a concert performance to the thunderous accolades of the audience!
