Zook Cunalata. A bluegrass carol for the holi-
days! Based on the traditional spiritual, Rise Up,
Shepherd, and Follow, this lively carol combines
Appalachian folk style with the joy of the season.

and alternating melody and accompaniment
as the tune is passed from section to section.
Syncopated rhythms, steady bass line, and
old-time fiddle riffs will transport players and
audiences to the snowy Smoky Mountains for a
winter celebration. Includes violin 3 (viola in treble
clef) and alternate viola (violin 2 in alto clef) parts.

technically quite easy, but very emotional.

selection with Indian flavor! Fireworks are central
to the traditional autumn Diwali celebration, the
Hindu festival of lights. Featuring approachable

He 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 . . . . . . . . ME 50.00
4e Chatter With the Angels (Watching Over
Me)—Traditional/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Com-

swing or play straight eighth notes. Students will
perform with confidence as they play familiar
rhythms and memorable melodies through
colorful and engaging orchestration.

well as an easier version that can be performed

e Fantasia on a Theme from Thailand—Richard
Meyer. This captivating work is a set of variations
on the Pong Lang Dance, one of Thailand's
most popular melodies. The pong lang is like
a xylophone with its wooden keys suspended
vertically on ropes, with the low notes on the
upper end and the high notes at the bottom.
The melody uses the pentatonic scale and is
very simple in nature. The variations expand on
fragments of the original tune in a variety of tempi
and styles that make each new change thrilling!
After this exploration, the original melody returns,
gradually gaining speed and energy as one would
hear in a traditional performance of this dance.

as traditional melodies intertwine with thoughtful
countermelodies and contemporary harmonies.
Simply gorgeous!

4 Fiddles at Sea—Traditional/arr. Kathryn Gries-
inger. End your first year with three American folk
songs about water, each of which is passed around

particularly with the bow and pizzicato. Upper
strings use high and low 2s in G and D major.

e Finnish Folk Song Suite—Traditional/arr.
Francis Caravella. The three songs of the Finnish
Folk Song Suite were chosen for their common
connection to nature. Everyone gets a chance
at the melody in this collection of minor key folk
songs that are reminiscent of Bartok's Romanian
Folk Dances, but much easier to play!
10696532 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . E 47.00
H Folk Tune and Fiddle Dance—Percy Fletcher.
A long-time favorite for festival and contest, Percy
Fletcher's two-movement suite has been a choice
teaching piece for school orchestras. In true
English folk style, the first movement has multiple
sections in varying styles and meters, and the
second movement is rhythmic, energetic fiddle
writing at its best.
4964359 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . ME 65.00
4e Inishowen—Sarah Siegler. This engaging piece
was inspired by the beautiful scenery of Inish-owen,
a peninsula in Northern Ireland. The first move-
ment is slow and lyrical, depicting the beauty of
standing on the shore, looking at the sea. The
second movement is a fun jig, portraying a group
of sheepdogs playing in the fields. In the last
section, themes from both movements are
combined for a powerful finish.
10908677 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . ME 55.00
10908678 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00
Japanese Lullaby—Larry Clark. This dramatic
music is based on an authentic Japanese
folk song Mori no Fukuro (The Forest Owl).
This pensive and beautiful tune becomes the
inspiration for a truly unique arrangement.
Textures change mysteriously as a solo violin and
solo cello exchange, melodies, followed by 2 solo
violins soaring over pizzicato accompaniment.
This builds into the final statement of the folk
song with an obbligato in the first violins. Highly
recommended!
10013227 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . E 50.00
e Lotus Dance—Kathryn Griesinger. Graceful
flower dances are a beautiful part of Asian
cultures, illustrated here with a flowing theme
in first position. Beginning ensembles will find
this work very playable with simple rhythms and
melodies based on the D major and G major
scales. Exotic pentatonic harmonies and gentle
pizzicato accompaniment float like the lotus
blossom in an ancient Chinese garden.
