This fun-loving original is guaranteed to motivate beginning string players by highlighting the strengths of every section. Unison cellos and basses start off with an 8-bar groove in A minor before upper strings come in with a cool melody. Then violas assume the melodic lead in the middle section of the piece before a strong tutti finish. 10492375 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 10492376 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.00 l Age of Heroes—Jeremy Woolstenhulme. Composed in B minor, this original work contains basic note values and rhythm combinations designed for a first end-of-year concert. The topic of heroes is presented in the score and student parts, offering the opportunity to create a special connection to the music. Alternate violin (viola T.C.) parts included. 11000010 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .52.00 11000027 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .7.00 4 Anchored—Todd Parrish. A fun piece for young players that reinforces the practice of leaving fingers down, "anchored" to the fingerboard. With a nautical flavor, the piece explores staccato and legato articulation along with striking dynamic contrast. Low second-finger patterns only occur in the first violin part, and fourth finger use is encouraged for all upper strings. All sections get to play the powerful melody in this dramatic concert selection! 10981236 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .42.00 H Antagonist—Larry Clark. In every great story there is always an antagonist, the character whose opposing force is central to the success of the story. This concept has been applied to music in this selection for string orchestra. The piece is aggressive and at times purposely antagonizing. Designed with the youngest of players in mind, it works on simple repeated eighth-note patterns as the foundation for the melodic material. Interesting parts are provided for all instruments, and everyone gets to play the melody. Impressive! 10093742 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 Appalachian Hymn—Soon Hee Newbold. This lyrical work was inspired by the traditional folk tunes and hymns of the Appalachians. Using mostly a simple pentatonic scale, the warm melody evokes rustic images of the American outdoors. The writing makes even smaller groups sound full. This is an ideal choice for your next concert. 2480753 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 4 Attack of the Walking Basses—Bob Phillips. Perfect for young orchestras, this Halloween bass- tacular features the entire bass section playing riffs and walking bass lines. The piece is written in first position for violins, violas, and cellos, but everyone gets to play exciting tremolos. Correlates with Sound Innovations for String Orchestra, Book 1, Level 5. 10999654 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .46.00 10999655 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .8.00 H Attack!—Jeffrey Frizzi. The dark sound of D minor is paired with aggressive, repeated down bow strokes to create a mood of impending doom for beginning string groups. A great way for teaching low 2nd finger, double stops and B flats, this is one that your young players can really dig into. 10185981 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 l Battle Stations—Francis J. Caravella. This exciting Grade 1 selection provides plenty of tutti playing to keep everyone on solid ground and uses only the basic fingerings found in your favorite first- year method book. Notes on the C and E strings are also avoided, making Battle Stations a perfect fit for young students! 10981238 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .42.00 l Bright River—Kathryn Griesinger. Inspired by the sight of sunlight sparkling on moving water, a joyous, expansive melody is woven through the sections allowing developing players to shine. Easy eighth- note patterns rise and fall under a flowing theme that is passed to every section of the orchestra, offering students the opportunity to practice a light brush stroke. Based on the G major scale, this uplifting work will be a pleasant addition to any concert, teaching both staccato and legato articulations. 10997962 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .48.00 10997963 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .7.00 H Celtic Dance—Mark Williams. Young string players will love getting a hold of this playable original dance in the Celtic style. Written in E dorian mode, the work uses only the notes of a one-octave D major scale, and makes a fine introduction to modal harmonies. 2442465 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .46.00 l Crown of Aragon—Seth Bedford. A haunting, but stately pavane in the Renaissance style. Young students will experience ABA style in the key of D minor, but only low-two finger patterns are used throughout. The middle section features lower string melodies on the C string for viola and cello, moving briefly into third position in the bass. Alternating between arco and pizzicato not only helps with dynamic contrast, but creates a unique texture when accompanied by the optional triangle and hand drum. 10997970 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .48.00 10997971 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .7.00 4 D-Tour—Todd Parrish. The rondo form of this light-hearted work gives students helpful repetition, along with fun "detours" to keep them engaged! The piece uses only quarter notes and half notes with both stepwise motion and larger intervals in D major. The piano part adds harmonic interest to the piece and is highly recommended. 10986320 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .46.00 H Dance of Fire—Frank J. Halferty. This energetic and refreshing original is destined to be a student favorite for years to come. From bold, rustic sections to soft and suspense-building tremolos and pizzicatos, this piece has what it takes to motivate players to practice, and makes young groups sound mature. 10093696 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 l Danza Exotica—Janelle Zook Cunalata. Exciting, anticipatory, exotic and mysterious! Students and directors alike will appreciate how easily this piece comes together as young musicians groove the riffs and sail the melodies. Emphasizing accents and rhythms and reveling in the contrasting legato and pizzicato middle section will result in dramatic performance. 11001532 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 l Darkwing—Peter Terry. Every fall, flocks of up to a million starlings create fluid formations of wheeling and darting birds called murmurations. This piece depicts this sea of birds whose beautiful, hypnotic motions move as a vast single cloud that can block out the sun. 11100049 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 11100050 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.00 Dragon Slayer—Rob Grice. This exciting musical adventure is set in E minor and uses only 6 notes. It is rhythmic and offers optional percussion and mild dissonance to complete the dark, medieval sound. Sure to be a favorite at your next concert! 10008659 String Orchestra, Percussion Optional . . . . . . . .40.00 H Dragonhunter—Richard Meyer. There's a dragon on the loose (you can hear him in the bass and cello sections) and your strings are in on the hunt! The medieval-sounding excitement is all created using notes from the D scale, no slurs, and no sixteenth notes. 2475409 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .46.00 Edge of the Horizon—Jeremy Woolstenhulme. This work is a win-win for reinforcing everything students have been learning during their first year of study. Robust, lively, and entertaining, the music features a wide range of dynamics to teach musicality and use of bow weight, speed, and distribution in familiar D Major. 10908739 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .52.00 10908754 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .7.00 Effervescence—George Sweet. A fresh, exhilarating piece for beginning string groups, Effervescence contains rich harmonies and melodic gestures reminiscent of the American School of composers such as Aaron Copland. Though it is presented in a sophisticated manner, this piece has limited technical demands, making it easy for young students. 10907795 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .48.00 10907796 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.50 l English Sea Chantey—arr.
