of the starry night sky as experienced in Hawaii.
Broad, sustained notes make extensive use of full
bows, ideal for reinforcing bow control and purity
of tone. A stunning work with gorgeous harmonies
and colors.

meter, modal scales and driving syncopations

selection that will show off your group in the best
light! Powerful!

Medieval Wars—Brian Balmages. This could be
the high point of your concert! The dark opening
sets the stage for the entry of the knights, who ride
into the stadium with a noble theme over pulsating
lower strings. As the tournament begins, the music
becomes aggressive and driving, drawing everyone
into the action. The final ceremony crowns our
champion and brings the music to a magnificent
and regal finale! This is all done within the reach of
players bordering on the easy to medium-easy levels!

4 Minor Altercations—Anthony Granata. Written in
the key of D minor, this intense contemporary piece
opens with an accented, offbeat rhythmic motif
that constantly returns as new material is gradually

Momentum—Richard Meyer. A great choice
for your next concert or contest! This provides a
wide variety of outstanding teaching opportunities
while using a fresh, contemporary sound that your
students will love! As the title suggests, a driving,
rhythmic pulse permeates this modern original, but
the piece incorporates two diverse moods: a highly
rhythmic first section in B Minor, built on rising
and falling thirds, followed by a simple chorale in
folk song style. Once this slow material is passed
around the energy is re-established with earlier
material. A solid work for concert and contest.

Moon Bass—Todd Parrish. Let your string bass
section swing in this easy-to-play blues piece as
they build skills and enjoy the motivation of being
in the spotlight. Basses carry the melody much of
the time while also accompanying the melody as
it weaves through other sections. All parts stay in
first position, except the bass shifts briefly to third
position. Educational objectives include playing
accidentals, contrasting between staccato and
legato, and learning to play in a swing style.

section provides a warm, lyrical contrast performed

for the perfect piece to introduce your students to
6/8 meter! This cool-sounding, minor-key jig uses
only three basic 6/8 rhythms to give your students
the confidence they need to navigate a too-often
neglected time signature. Pieces of Eight gives
every section a turn at the fun and catchy melody
while the repeated patterns in the accompaniments
will reinforce students' reading of the new rhythms.
