Summary of This Score
This set for string orchestra highlights a melody by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, featured in the Pop Specials for Strings collection. The arrangement by Calvin Custer emphasizes smooth reading and balanced orchestration, allowing a string ensemble to quickly build a solid and expressive performance. The score is particularly relevant for working on string-specific fundamentals in an ensemble setting: bow quality, attack uniformity, dynamic control, shared phrasing, and intonation on exposed passages. Thanks to clear notation and logical musical progression, this piece easily fits into a concert program, end-of-term audition, or educational project, while giving musicians the opportunity to develop their musicality and sense of "pop" style. An excellent choice to energize the ensemble repertoire, boost group motivation, and achieve a convincing interpretation even with limited rehearsal time.
