Wildfire—Kathryn Griesinger. The rapid pace
and tight rhythms of this Grade 2 original will help
students develop quick and crisp bowing technique!
A fast and furious theme requires precision in
playing staccato and hooked bowings while
managing string crossings, resulting in a great

and 16th-note patterns.

Windchasers—Kathryn Griesinger. Windchasers
depicts the soaring flight of starling flocks twisting in
the winds of a growing storm. As relentless staccato
rhythms drive the melody forward, the whirlwind
dies down for some pizzicato "rain" before the
original theme rises again. This work helps reinforce
low-one and low-two finger patterns, and half-
position (bass) in the key of D minor.

scenes of quiet, gentle snow are reflected in
this nostalgic melody for intermediate strings. A
flowing legato theme evokes warm memories
of innocence and joy as it moves between the
sections, encouraging playing with sustained bows
and beautiful tone. Moments of modulation use
easy accidentals in first position to relay the magic
of the season. Piano and bells add to the dreamlike
quality of this serene concert selection for your
winter concert.

This piece celebrates the wonder of every living

the dynamism of living. Col legno, harmonics,
pizzicato, decisive staccato, and a spotlight moment
for a solo string quartet are just some of the varying
textures that drive this triumphant work. Includes

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!
