    A Festival Rondo
    For Combined Multi-Aged Orchestras
    By Richard Meyer
    Item: 00-44848
    Series: Highland String Orchestra
    Ensemble: String Orchestra
    Grade 1.5-3.5
    Format: Conductor Score & Parts
    This work features all of your school district's string orchestras at once and was written to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Freeport, Illinois orchestra program. The piece combines elementary, middle school, and high school string orchestras each playing age-appropriate material, making for the perfect closer to an ""All-City,"" multi-level concert. During the course of this energetic rondo, each group is featured on their own melody. As the piece unfolds, the melodies are creatively combined, keeping all the players ""on their toes"" and active at all times. Grade levels for the three groups are: Elementary - Grade 1.5; Middle school - Grade 2.5; High school - Grade 3.5. (4:45)

      Ours was close too with 641, with the performers divided into 14 zones (A-N, I was in E). My school runs large strings performances every 5 years. This was in 2018 for the 15th anniversary, with 7th-11th graders, some teachers and alumni playing. At the end of the performance the principal announced the number of performers, and encouraged that we should keep our instruments for the next performance in 2023.

    I would honestly have to say, this is the piece that hooked me. I played it way back in 7th grade. This was the first piece that I truly fell in love with and was sad to see it go. I hold Richard Meyer as one of, if not the best composer of out time. I blame this piece for making me adore music.

    My orchestra played this song in middle school, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade groups and I was in 6th grade and to this day I still don’t know how the 8th grade violins were able to play this part.. This is one of the most nostalgic pieces to me and felt so incredible to play

    Performed this in a 640-person orchestra celebrating my high school's 15th anniversary. We had to play strings from 7th to 9th grade as part of the curriculum.
    We had 9th and 10th grades play the high school parts, 8th and 11th grades play the middle school parts, and finally 7th graders plus some teachers and alumni playing the elementary school parts.
    Can still remember my position number in the orchestra that day: E-110.
