Brian Balmages. What could be more inspiring to
your young players than playing with an advanced
musician? Offer the solo to a local high school or

players by offering an easier version of the solo to
be played by a member of your orchestra. It's a win-
win situation for everyone! Your players will love the
chance to play the lyrical lines and powerful, driving
rhythms of Celtic music.

One Bow Concerto—Richard Meyer.
Your audience will laugh out loud! A violinist, a
violist and a cellist have soloist seats in front of the
orchestra, and they share just one bow, passing it to
one another just in the nick of time. The orchestra is
all pizzicato, so there really is only one bow. "But a
cellist shouldn't use a violin bow," you think. Right, so
they stop passing it to him and the cellist shows what
he thinks of that! By the end the bow is in the hand of
the conductor. Recommended as a show-stopper!

Winter from "The Four Seasons" (Second
Movement)—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Tim McCarrick.
This arrangement is simple enough for the violin,
viola, or cello soloist of your choice! Vivaldi's lyrical
second movement, now in G Major, stays true to
the original with the famous melody over pizzicato
accompaniment. The violin solo is entirely in first
position, and the viola and cello soloists only need to
know the first three notes they learn in third position:
D, E, and F sharp on the A string!
