Rooster Rag - Stephen Chin - String Orchestra Conductor Score & Parts (Digital Download)

Here's one for your early morning rehearsal! The "cock-a-doodle-do" rhythm, which is at the start of the piece, is sprinkled throughout the work. The rather funky rooster tune is supported by a falling bass line which is characteristic of so many rag tunes. The form is rondo so many of the sections are able to play the main theme. The staccato bowing which is so important in promoting precision in bowing is a main feature of the piece. The catchy tune is guaranteed to remain in players' heads for some time!
