Hoe Down – String Group
From £6.80
Includes PDF + audio backing track
Adapted from Hey Presto! for Violin, Book 1 (Bronze), this rhythmic and high-spirited hoe-down bursts with energy from the outset. Propelled by lively fiddle-style rhythms and a strong, grounded pulse, it captures the unmistakable flavour of traditional barn-dance music.
Cleverly written so that many parts use minimal fingering — some even playable entirely on open strings — it enables beginners to take a full and confident role in the performance while more experienced players enjoy the driving momentum of the ensemble writing. Foot-stamping adds theatrical impact — particularly thrilling in venues with a resonant wooden floor — and the infectious rhythmic patterns make it enormously satisfying to play.
A perfect high-energy concert closer.
