Bella Bocca Polka

Op. 163
This charming piece is a perfect choice for a first festival experience and will help any group sound more mature. Written by Émil Waldteufel and arranged by Bob Phillips, the melody moves around to all sections in this setting. Written in first position in the keys of G and D, it is a great piece to work on lo and hi 2s in the upper strings as well as stopped bows in the entire string section. All rhythms are very easy, using mostly quarters and paired eighths. (2:40)
