Solid Concert Piece for String Orchestra
A well-produced score and parts for Dello Joio's 'Choreography.' The 148 pages are substantial, indicating a serious concert piece. Page turns are thoughtfully laid out. While not a casual 'gig' piece, it's a strong choice for organized concert events. The arrangement is authentic to the composer's intent, providing a high-quality, engaging performance experience for any string ensemble.

Superb Orchestration and Part Writing
Dello Joio's 'Choreography' showcases masterful string writing. The texture across the ensemble is rich and varied, with each part contributing meaningfully to the overall fabric, never just doubling. The interaction between sections is thoughtfully crafted, presenting wonderful opportunities to refine balance and blend. This is a genuinely compelling work that deeply engages all players, and it's published with great clarity.

Choreography - 3 dances for string orchestra
So happy to see this for sale again! terrific set for teaching contemporary rhythms and chord structures. I have the original edition, so I'm hoping since this has no arranger listed, it is the same. I have used this several times when I have ensembles that can handle them. Overall, groups enjoy and play the last movement the best. Slow movement is challenging if they are weak in vibrato. 1st movement requires large jumps for violins, and the harmonies are contemporary, so groups that aren't used to that take time to learn.
