String Kids Orchestra: Saint James Infirmary Blues

Saint James Infirmary Blues

Time for another youth orchestra piece! Shorter and less technically demanding than the Grieg Lyric Pieces, this melancoly melody is nice for working on a rich, warm string orchestra sound.

About String Kids Orchestra

I started this blog in 2012 because I wanted to share the music I have written for my pupils with other string teachers and children/youth orchestra conductors.

The pieces available on the site are either my arrangements of music in the public domain, or my own compositions. They were mostly written for small orchestras, but are equally suitable for chamber groups. The Junior pieces are intended for the age group 6–11, and the Youth pieces for pupils of 12 and older.

Feel free to use the music for any non-commercial purpose. I would appreciate it if you cited this site as your source, and of course I would love to hear your thoughts on and your experiences with the pieces!

Enjoy the music!

P.S.

Some of my pieces are now available for download as PDF files, complete with all parts, at Sheet Music Plus. At very reasonable prices. Check it out here! :)
