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 favourite of the players and will leave the audience wanting to shout, Gday, mate!
