Written in a flowing waltz style, this piece depicts the non-stop motion of an old-fashioned carousel going round and round with horses smoothly gliding up and down. In the keys of D Major and G Major, this is a perfect piece for first year players as all fingered notes occur on the D and A strings (D and G for bass). The violin 2 and viola parts are doubled, as are the cello and bass parts. Carousel by Bob Phillips is easily accessible by beginners and advancing students alike.
