Publisher Desc.  Introduce your developing string ensemble to the treasure trove of Russian music with this arrangement of two popular folk songs. "Beryozka" is a lyrical piece in the form of theme and variations in D minor featuring legato, tremolo and staccato bow strokes, as well as a florid counterpoint section reminiscent of choral compositions. "Zhuravel" is an upbeat piece in G major that will send your students jumping out of their seats and dancing. A lively tempo, a catchy tune, fast runs and plenty of interaction between the voices offer a fun experience for the entire orchestra.
