Don't Feed the Animals - String Quartet (or Ensemble)

In this edition George Speckert has depicted an entire menagerie of small animals in 12 movements. Framed by an overture and epilogue, ten animals/species make an appearance. These easy little character pieces can be played in any order by two violins, viola and cello, or three violins and cello, either one or more to a part. It is a fun-to-play collection especially suited for children and invites them to expand on these pieces by adding little tales, pictures or scenes.

• Easy fun pieces on animals geared towards children
• Suitable for smaller and larger recitals
• Can be played by a variable number of string players
