Fiddles Down Under presents an opportunity for string students to learn three standard fiddle tunes from the Australian bush music tradition. After a brief introduction, the sea chantey Bound for South Australia is presented by all the instruments. Later, the orchestra plays two versions of the famous Australian folk tune, Waltzing Matilda - first the older, 'traditional' melody, and finally the popular version so loved throughout the world. Lots of fiddling features - driving rhythms, shuffles, fun back-up parts, and an energetic bass line - will make this arrangement a favorite of the players and will leave the audience wanting to shout, G'day, mate!
