| Description: These selections from Carmen Suite No. 2 provide a wonderful contrast for teaching and performance for grade 4 groups. The Chanson du Toreador (Toreador Song) is taken from Act II and provides the lesser known but exciting introduction before the more famous lyrical portion of the March is heard. The La Garde Montante (Children’s Chorus), taken from Act I, is light but highly energetic with its dance-like quality. Both selections are in d minor. Range requires 1st Violins to use some 3rd and 4th position – cellos use limited 4th position and some 3rd position for convenience. |
