CascadeBert Ligon. Here's an original jazz
tune that will have the entire orchestra feelin' cool.
Contemporary harmonies, laid-back drumset and
a rhythmic groove create this fresh sound. The

American style of music.

4 Come Fly With MeMark Wood. This piece
comes from a personal visualization of flying
while improvising music. It combines classical and
American rock styles, while creating a vehicle for
musicians to "spread their wings" and truly learn
the beautiful art of composing their own music on
the spot in the improvisation section.
10459536 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 80.00
Fiddle FaddleLeroy Anderson/arr. Bullock.
The soloist sizzles! The orchestra supports; and
the result is a first-class musical experience. Using
the exact pitches of the original, but using string
orchestra instead of full, this piece provides a
perfect change of pace or will make a great encore.
The solo can be performed by violin, viola or cello.
Also available for full orchestra.
10050311 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 64.00
Ghosts of BrandenburgRichard Meyer.
Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the
"Brandenburg Concerti!" Not just a cute novelty,
but an entirely new work! It captures the spirit of
the "Brandenburgs," but sets most of them in minor
keys, or uses darker tones, pizzicato, and meter
changes J.S. Bach would never have imagined!
This is an inventive and challenging work that will
take your intermediate strings on an almost nine-
minute tour de force that will build their endurance
along with their musicality! Highly recommended for
concert and contest!
10050371 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 60.00
Halloween SpooktacularVarious/arr. Phillips.
Four famous classical spooky themes all in one
spine-shivering medley! Provide your advanced

loved sections of A Night on Bald Mountain; March
of the Marionettes, The Sorcerer's Apprentice and
Danse Macabre. Wonderfully reduced for string
orchestra, this piece is perfect for Halloween
concerts, spring concerts and pop concerts for
school or community groups.
10032411 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 59.00
4 Jazzed Up & High StrungBrian Holmes. This
catchy tune provides exposure to jazz style for

fun, percussive element, while the catchy melody is
passed around to all sections.
10444017 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 50.00
n Melrose AvenueCalifornia Guitar Trio. High
energy! This contemporary arrangement of an
original by The California Guitar Trio has a bustling,
exotic feel with layers of rhythmic ostinato, meter
changes and intrigue.

Music for a Found HarmoniumJeffes/arr.
Dabczynski. Written in 1984 by English composer
Simon Jeffes and described as minimalist folk
music, Music for a Found Harmonium is widely
recognized for its appearance in the soundtrack
to the popular film "Napoleon Dynamite." In
this arrangement, the quirky but energetic
melody is introduced by the violas and celli, and
is later echoed and elaborated by the violins.
Joyful rhythmic figures, challenging accents,
syncopations, and a driving bass line all punctuate
the accompaniment throughout the piece. It's an
exuberant work that is bound to bring the audience
to its feet.
10015233 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 60.00
H
Plink Plank PlunkLeroy Anderson. Pizzicato
playing is fascinating to play and to watch, but
coming from the skilled pen of Leroy Anderson, it
becomes an event! Let your kids put down their
bows and dazzle the audience with this one! (All
sections get to make the "squeak" special effect!) If
you're going to program a novelty piece for strings,
your students and audience deserve one from this
American master.
4533071 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 59.00
Sing, Sing, SingLouis Prima/arr. Marshall &
Phillips. This has been a showstopper from the
Benny Goodman Big Band in the past to jazz bands
of today - but now, straight from the Barrage stage
show is a version for strings that will rock your
world! This has long been one of the most popular
tunes in the Barrage show. Adapted for string
orchestra, this arrangement retains the feel of the
show and will sound fantastic! Don't miss this!
10050439 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 60.00
n Snake River StompSteve Laven. The winner
of the 2008 Texas Orchestra Directors Association
composition contest! This American tour de force
has shades of Copland mixed with exciting fiddling
motives and themes fit for a Hollywood western.
The composer describes it: "The Snake River flows
through Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and I tried to
capture some of its grandeur in the music. The
'stomp' comes from the heavy hoedown feel in cut
time. It's written in a rondo form, and its themes
have a familiar style that is easy to capture.
Students will love the fact that each string part is
interesting and unique."

l
Tango LocoReynard Burns. Add some Latin
style to your next concert! This hypnotic tango
includes a solo section with suggested melodies for
violin and viola. Advanced shifting is required for
first violins and cellos. It would be "crazy" not to
program this piece!
10444031 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 50.00
l The Thing Under the BedLauren Bernofsky.
Add a unique programming twist with this fantastic
piece that blends humor with darkness. The
"spooky" opening uses playable chromatics to set
the stage for the "thing," which comes across as
potentially scary, yet clumsy and whimsical all at
the same time.
10454277 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 55.00
4 Two Hornpipesarr. Larry Moore. This classic
fiddle tune, known as Fisher's Hornpipe, was used
in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's
Chest." This fun, energetic arrangement features
the violin section, while the optional percussion part
adds to the excitement.
10461647 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 50.00
n Waltz of the WickedKirt N. Mosier. This wild
piece calls for violins and violas to use a one-finger
glissando, creating a very eerie effect. Cellos will
get to strum three-note chords with their thumb
while canonic passages make your group work
together as never before. Wicked!
2478798 String Orchestra . . . . . . M 50.00
l Wood's BoleroMark Wood & Joseph
Baldassare. The fun Spanish rock feel, evoking
flamenco dancing and even the excitement of
a bull fighting arena, comes from the urgent
rhythms and modal harmonies common to
boleros of all types. The rock aspects can
be emphasized with the use of the optional
rhythm section consisting of piano, guitar, bass,
and drums. This work may be performed by
Grade 2 orchestras, Grade 3 orchestras, or both
levels together.
