Original

A Minor Case of the Birthday Blues composed by Lauren Bernofsky. 1967-. For string orchestra. Orchestra. FJH String Orchestra. Score only. Full set. score and parts. also available. ST6251. Grade 3.5. Score only. Duration 3 minutes, 15 seconds. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc. FJ.ST6251S. Even the most humbug-y of audience members will have to laugh at this new take on the traditional birthday song. After the melody is presented in a minor key, it works its way through a series of tongue-in-cheek "serious" transitions before arriving at a zany calypso setting. complete with maracas and claves. Through all its silliness, the piece is actually a great teaching tool for many techniques your students will encounter in symphonic music, such as imitation, chromatics, tremolo, triplets, and more. Don't forget the cake. More emphasis on bow technique and independence of lines. For the accomplished middle, high school, college, or professional group. Grade 3 and up.
