Swamp Thang
Stompin' the Bayou
By Richard Meyer
Item: 00-45875

Hotter than a Cajun barbecue, this tour-de-force for the advanced string orchestra is a workout for all of your students (and their conductor!). Conjuring up images of the Deep South, this jazzy rondo never lets up from start to finish, featuring the most sumptuous syncopations and intriguing instrumentation to hit the student stage in a long time. A great closer or encore number for any concert! (4:00)

Lol it's based on the grade level of the orchestra. Basically u learn by practicing with different level books to play that level of music. For example this piece would be level 4 of books or around high school from where I'm from. (And srry if it's to late to comment but just making sure u knew)
