42019 Editors' Choice lNew for 2019 HPepper Basic Library ePrint All Prices in U.S. Dollars & Subject To Publisher Revision 34 STRING ORCHESTRA Go to cart ORIGINAL CONCERT WORKS medium-easy Appalachian Celebration—Gary Fagan. This original piece is in a style reminiscent of the music of the rich cultural heritage of the Appalachia. Music is an important part of the Appalachian way of life. Traditional Appalachian music is derived primarily from the English and Scottish ballad tradition and Irish and Scottish fiddle music. African-American blues musicians played a significant role in developing the instrumental aspects of Appalachian music as well. 10594925 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .49.00 10594926 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00 l Apparitions—Doug Spata. A diabolical selection that starts off with some fun fingering challenges and string crossings, then ups the ante by getting faster and faster! Not only is it a great piece to help young musicians master technical challenges, such as chromatic fingerings, it also helps them listen to each other and practice watching their conductor. Students and audiences will enjoy the spooky-fun style. 10997956 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .50.00 10997957 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .8.00 Archaic Voices—Doug Spata. Archaic Voices was written at the request of a friend of the composer who wanted an easy piece she could use to introduce low first-finger B flats. Her students really responded to the aggressive style, approachable rhythms, and quick tempo. Part independence is kept to a minimum to help young players stay together, and the wide dynamic range adds to the drama of the piece. This is a bold selection that students and teachers can both appreciate. 10738927 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .49.00 10738959 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00 Aspire (A Dream Fulfilled)—Bob Phillips. This lush, beautiful piece opens majestically, featuring mixed meter with a common quarter note pulse. The violas and cellos shine in the haunting middle section, accompanied by the basses' countermelody, and the closing section allows the violins to soar. Gorgeous expressive playing allows your students to show great emotion. 10370518 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .49.00 10370519 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00 Big Sky Country—Susan H. Day. Upon hearing the words "Big Sky Country," one typically thinks of Montana. This piece, however, depicts any place where the sky is vast, the view expansive, and the setting natural. The elements of the music, with sweeping melodic phrases and a few key changes, (G, C, D) suggest a spirit of adventure, freedom, the outdoors, and the beauty of the land. This lively piece, with melodic parts for all and using slurs, accents, divisi, syncopation, and accidentals, will capture the enthusiasm of players and audience alike! 10738931 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .49.00 10738963 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00 l Black Knight—Ian Edlund. This concert piece for young orchestra is written to provide dramatic effects and lyrical melodies while encouraging students to develop their skills with contrasting styles of bowing and phrasing. It makes effective use of off-string bowings, and bow division concepts can be effectively taught with it, too. The second theme is an excellent vehicle for developing vibrato. Careful attention to dynamics and style will make it enjoyable for players and audiences alike. 2471075 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 10036669 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.50 H Blue-Fire Fiddler—Soon Hee Newbold. This kickin' fiddle tune is energetic, exciting and fun. The fast and furious fiddling sounds much harder than it really is. Riffs, finger patterns and bowings are very idiomatic and lend themselves to fast playing. This is sure to be the hit of the concert! 2474322 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .50.00 H Blue Rhythmico—Kirt N. Mosier. Like the title implies, there's a powerful rhythm and some jazzy blue notes, nothing subtle here! This original uses guitar-like riffs and a driving ostinato bass line in the low strings to build up to a powerful sound. 2481200 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 10000751 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . .10.00 Boreas (The Cold North Wind)—Todd Parrish. In Greek mythology, Boreas is the cold north wind, making this piece a great addition to any winter concert. The mysterious opening leads to an exciting finale. Students will experience spiccato and legato bowing styles, multiple down bows, and key changes. 10453642 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .48.00 10453690 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00 Carpe Diem—Richard Meyer. Full of energy and excitement, this overture makes the perfect concert opener or closer. Tuneful melodies and shifting moods explore a wide variety of string playing techniques, while the colorful orchestration gives every section a chance in the spotlight. This A B A work opens with a high-spirited main theme followed by a more lyrical second theme. The contrasting middle section is a tender lullaby introduced first by solo violin, and then taken up with great emotion by the entire ensemble. The opening section returns, refreshingly re- orchestrated for added interest. The piece ends in a flurry of excitement. Playable by middle- level groups but definitely mature enough for the advanced string orchestra. 10027605 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .56.00 H The Code—Alan Lee Silva. Like the underscore of an international spy movie, this piece promises drama from the opening bar. The evocative harmonies, plus tight moving lines and syncopated rhythms, immediately catch the ear. Pulsating eighth-note patterns drive the piece all the way through to the spirited conclusion. Sure to have everyone on the edge of their seat. 10278001 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .55.00 10278003 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.50 l Cold Fusion—Peter Terry. A dramatic piece for string orchestra that alternates a syncopated fanfare with a bold yet lyrical theme. These contrasting ideas chase each other throughout the piece as the syncopated figure persists under the lyrical theme. This rhythm blossoms into a restatement of the fanfare, leading to a climatic ending. The title alludes to the idea of a massive amount of energy being unleashed through fairly simple means. 10997968 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .50.00 10997969 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .8.00 4 Colors of Home—Alan Lee Silva. A loving portrait of life growing up in the pastoral foothills of Northern California, Colors of Home conveys a warm Americana feeling, featuring beautifully nuanced melodic themes and carefully crafted harmonies. 11100043 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .55.00 11100044 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .7.00 Conquistador—Deborah Baker Monday. A dramatic work with a hint of romance, Conquistador! depicts the life and adventures of the Spanish explorers. Rhythmic motives in A minor provide a glimpse into life on the trail, and the softer, lyrical section depicts a quiet night under the stars. It's a great way to bring history into the music rehearsal! 2703086 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .62.00 H Contrasts in E Minor—Francis Feese. This unique and interesting work is divided into three sections. It begins with a catchy, "spy-sounding" opening theme, which is contrasted with an emotional slower section, and ends with an exciting 6/8 time signature galop that features the lower strings. It is standard string orchestra literature that comes highly recommended for intermediate level groups. 2136216 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 6049142 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.50 TIMELESS CLASSICS Time-honored standards for concert & contest! l Allegro for Cello and String Orchestra—Antonio Vivaldi/arr.
