Just So in the North

Ignatius Sancho’s Just So in the North is in D Major, and is based on an 18th-century dance tune. Each section gets pieces of the theme. Teaching points include string crossings, changing to pizzicato from arco and back, and counting eighth, quarter, and half notes. Basses are the only section that will shift. Sancho included instructions for the dance that goes with this tune, so don’t be surprised if the audience dances along! (3:30)
