FOLK & MULTICULTURAL
He Maharaja—Doug Spata. Add some sizzle to your
next concert with some Bollywood style! Maharaja
combines rhythms and motifs from Indian music
with exciting melodies. Slurred pizzicato imitates
the sound of tabla drums while finger snaps
and triplet flourishes add to the South Asian
flavor. Teachers will appreciate challenging their
students with advanced fingerings and rhythms
throughout the piece and audiences will thrill to
this unique musical experience.

Molly on the Shore—Percy Grainger/arr.
Sandra Dackow. A rollicking good time! Not
another "Celtic clone," this is actually a setting
of two Irish reels Grainger arranged for string
quartet in 1907. It retains much of its quartet
flavor by giving each section lots to do. But don't
worry, the second violins and violas remain in
first position throughout. The Dackow/Grainger
combination ensures a crowd-pleaser that you
can feel confident programming! Very nice!

e Northumbrian Suite (Folk Songs from
Northern England)—arr. Ian David Coleman.
Folk songs have a long and mysterious history.
Their origins are unknown; they have come down
to us mainly through an oral tradition passed from
generation to generation. Many of the folk songs
we have come to know and love are rooted in the
ancient region of northern England and southern
Scotland known as Northumbria. The three folk
songs in this suite reflect this vibrant, wild and
deeply historic region. Includes When the Boat
Comes In; Dives and Lazarus and The Keel Row.

e Postcards from Russia—Carrie Lane Gruselle.
This thrilling set of three Russian folk tunes
will put your players (and audience) through
their paces! Using a wide variety of dynamics,
articulations, and tempi, three 3 tunes - Minka;
Meadowland and Korobushka, run the emotional
gamut from melancholy to pure exuberance! Set
in the dramatic key of D minor, this one includes
the exciting accelerando finish. If you do it right,
you'll leave the audience breathless!

He Red Pepper—Jeffrey S. Bishop. Based on
traditional Zydeco music and Cajun fiddling style,
this clever arrangement passes tunes playfully
from one section to another, sometimes over a
pizzicato walking bass line. This top-seller is full
of energy and fun!
10048339 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . ME 45.00
He Scarborough Fair—Traditional/arr. Brian Bal-
mages. The aching emotion in this interpretation
of Scarborough Fair is a genuine treat for young
string groups. The lyrics of the 16th century
(possibly older) ballad relates a heartsick couple
proposing impossible tasks to prove unending
love to one another. Embodied with simple
counter lines, harmonies, and dynamic range,
Brian Balmages paints an image of youthful love
and its inherent theatrics. Excellent!

4 Soldier's Joy—Traditional/arr. Sandra Dackow.
This familiar fiddle tune will be a great way to
open or close any concert. Featuring a variety of
string techniques, this arrangement showcases
all of your players on both the melody and the
accompaniment. Correlated with Orchestra
Expressions Book 2, this piece will inspire your
students to increase their tempo to create an
exciting performance!

4e Two Sea Shanties (for String Orchestra)—
Traditional/arr. John Mock. Sea shanties (or
chanteys) were folk songs sung a capella by
sailors to set a rhythm for specific tasks on a
ship performed in unison. Though shanties were
practical, most are very beautiful melodies as well.
Chosen for their lyricism, these two expressive
songs, Go To Sea Once More and The Banks of
Newfoundland, are arranged for string orchestra
with flowing phrases and interwoven harmonies
that express a love for the sea.

e When Johnny Comes Marching Home—
Traditional/arr. Sandra Dackow. When Johnny
Comes Marching Home was popular with both
the Confederate and Union Armies during the
American Civil War. Students will love to play this
exciting arrangement that remains in first position
with strong eighth-note passages and great parts
for all. Appearing in the 1800s, it is embraced
as traditional folk music by both Ireland and the
United States.
10739961 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . E 49.00
4e Where the River Shannon Flows—James
I. Russell/arr. Brian Balmages. Based on the
emotional Irish song, this thoughtful setting paints
a picture of a man dreaming of the day he can
return home. At times, the piece feels more like
a fantasy than an arrangement as the melody
weaves through an increasingly complex series
of textures and harmonies before returning to the
plaintive sounds of the opening.

Essential resource!
STRING TRAINING,
BOOK 1
Kathryn Griesinger.
String Training is a collection of 80
reproducible theory and technique
worksheets for the beginning to
intermediate orchestra classroom or
private lesson studio. Twenty stand-alone
units provide brief writing and playing
excerpts that can be used for assessment
or tuning work during the first few minutes
of class. Each unit is designed to develop
fundamental skills in note recognition,
finger patterns, key signatures, meter,
rhythms, and sight-reading. New notes
are presented in tetrachord patterns to
help students learn intervals, scales,
and arpeggios, which are summarized
on the final page of each unit. Every
exercise can be written, counted, sung,
and played to allow students to focus
on one music element at a time. They
may also be used solely for sight-reading
practice. Progressive exercises range from
rudimentary quarter notes to sixteenth
and dotted rhythms, compound meter,
and syncopation in the keys of D, G, C,
F, and A major. These flexible theory
worksheets can be used multiple ways to
fit your teaching pace and sequence, with
space to notate fingerings, note names,
bowings, counting, or even solfege or
Kodaly syllables. Violin, viola, cello, and
bass books are compatible (unison) in
appropriate ranges for the respective
instrument, and each book includes
supplemental fingerboard charts and
instrument and bow diagrams. The
spiral-bound teacher's manual provides
a page-for-page snapshot of all four
instrument worksheets, student resource
pages, and additional assessment
materials. The Value Pack includes
teacher manual and all 4 student books
(violin, viola, cello, bass).
