Southern Music Company Fair Isle Walkabout - Sharp - String Orchestra - Gr. 2

Composer: Sue Roberts Sharp
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: String Orchestra
Level: 2

Imagine arriving at Fair Isle between Scotland and Norway, a remote island where shipwrecks and rare birds exist, as you breathe in the tranquillity of an older time. Fair Isle Walkabout musically transports your mind to this idyllic location, with Dorian tonality, mixed meters (2/4 and 4/4), 2-and 3-part writing, the feeling of motion from the movement of the melody, and sweeping dynamics by each instrument of the orchestra. Sue Roberts Sharp magically inspires young people's imaginations and musicality through her Fair Isle Walkabout at Level 2.
