Eurovision 2009

Did anyone see the Eurovision the other night? I hadn't seen it in years, and to be fair I only saw the last half an hour in a mates place, what a show! That stage was unreal. EVERYTHING was a screen. I don't think there was a single scene change in the whole show, even the FLOOR was a screen! And what about the winner, Alex Rybak, what a dude! Fiddlin his way to the largest Eurovision result in the history of the competition. I decided today at recess to arrange this for my string orchestra at school. One swift perusal of youtube produced the clip from last nights show:



and another 5 mins with the fiddle, managed to come up with the riff:
 
A few mins later out comes the 3 minute long, full whack, with viola solos all over the place, arrangment for string orchestra.
 
I am just back from rehearsal, the kids loved it. Woohoo!
