String Time Joggers

This exciting series by the authors of Fiddle Time, Viola Time, and Cello Time provides great new ensemble material for all string groups, whatever their size. The fun and characterful pieces are each scored in either two or three parts, for any combination of violin, viola, and cello; a double bass part is also provided. The flexible scoring means that pieces can be played by any number of players, from one instrument and piano to a full string orchestra, with all combinations in between. An accompanying CD features performances and backings for all the pieces. Topped off with witty illustrations, String Time is a must-have for all those looking for imaginative and enjoyable ensemble repertoire.

The optional double bass part provides a bass line for the pieces in String Time Joggers. Most pieces use the finger pattern 0-1-4. The second finger is also used in two pieces.
