The 1812-Bar Blues - arr. Richard Meyer (String Orchestra Grade 2)You've heard all of these melodies before, but never like this! Four themes from Tchaikovsky's most famous overture have been turned into a cool 12 bar blues. Complete with swinging eighth notes and a ride cymbal accompaniment, this piece is a great way to teach blues structure, jazz performance practices, and classical music history while keeping your audience's toes tappin' and fingers snappin'.
