An energetic piece that both beginning and more advanced string players will want to play over and over, always faster and faster! Based on the melody that traditionally accompanies this national dance of Ukraine, all string sections take the lead at some time during this arrangement. The surprising appearance of a contrasting slower section played by the lower strings will conjure delightful images of brightly costumed male dancers performing vigorous squat-leaps along with their traditional shouts! Here's a piece that is well within the technical grasp of young students and is assured to bring the audience to their feet!
