Description:
Fiddles Down Under' presents an opportunity for string students to learn three standard fiddle tunes from the Australian 'bush music' tradition. After a brief introduction, the sea chantey 'Bound for South Australia' is presented by all the instruments. Later, the orchestra plays two versions of the famous Australian folk tune, 'Waltzing Matilda' - first the older, 'traditional' melody, and finally the popular version so loved throughout the world. Lots of fiddling features - driving rhythms, shuffles, fun back-up parts, and an energetic bass line - will make this arrangement a favorite of the players and will leave the audience wanting to shout, 'G'day, mate!
