Description
Get ready to stamp your feet for fearless fun in this great piece for younger players. Everyone gets the line and each section can play fearlessly and with a sense of fun. Towards the end, don’t be surprised if there is a quote from Tchaikovsky and a whiff of Brandenburg—it’s all in the spirit of a good time! “The Sailor’s Hornpipe,” arranged by Sandra Dackow, is familiar to many listeners through its opening words, “With a yo heave ho—and a slap upon the knee,” and it is easy to imagine foot stomps and slaps upon the knees of sailors accompanying their singing. This classic hornpipe will help your students with dexterity, playing in the lower half of the bow, and bow lifts! (2:25)
