American Sketches (a Fantasy for String
Orchestra)—Joshua Reznicow. A rousing concert
ender, this work will challenge all sections with a
wide range (every part shifts), running passage
work, trills, and syncopated rhythms. The B section,
a lyric waltz theme, shows off the principal players
with extended solos. The return of the A section
superimposes the waltz melody on the original
syncopated theme for a wonderful conclusion.

next concert to a stirring conclusion with this
patriotic fantasia featuring four popular themes:

Our Heroes—Susan H. Day. A moving tribute
to the people we admire, whether it be family
members, role models, or those serving our
country, this piece in E minor uses easy rhythms,
pizzicato, some divisi in the cello part, and a few
low second fingers in the violin 1 part. All players
get melody lines and the violin 2 part doubles the
viola. Sounds harder than it is!
