Nightrider—Richard Meyer. This thrilling piece
is reminiscent of Schumann's character pieces
for young musicians. Written in a minor mode, its
melody reinforces F and C naturals and gives young
players more experience in 3/4 meter. The piece
uses both A minor and A major, and offers a chance
at a simple col legno bowing. Students will love the
mysterious tonality and driving rhythms. Highly
entertaining and educational at the same time!

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!

sound full while they learn to play independently.

rhythms and staccato bow strokes, this selection,

energetic work which will challenge and inspire

just the right exotic flavor. Wonderful!

Searching for Destiny's Diamond—Kirt Mosier.
This mysterious and creative work in E minor opens
with all sections playing the melody in unison
before transitioning to a fugue-like second half
where the main theme is offset by one measure
in violin 2, viola, and bass, creating interesting
harmonies and tensions. Sudden dynamic shifts
also add to the enigmatic atmosphere. Young
players will have the opportunity to study fugue-
style writing as well as reinforce low second fingers
and dynamics. A very accessible piano part is
optional but highly recommended.

basic syncopation and dotted quarter-note rhythms
as well as eighth rests and easy key changes from
A minor to G. The entire piece is in first position;
violin 2 is doubled throughout and has a few easy
high third fingers. Optional maracas and bongo
parts add the perfect flair!

Ships of Ireland—Soon Hee Newbold. This
driving, D minor jig is a great way to close a concert!
All sections get a chance to play the theme as well
as accompany, using pizzicato, drones, or a lilting
figure that conveys the rolling waves of the sea.
This calls for crisp, clean playing that will bring out
the best in your students and thrill your audience.

reflects the radiance of the moon shining at night,

legato, the optional piano part adds to the special
quality of the piece.
