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.

Air for Buenos Aires—Chris Thomas. Feature a
guitar soloist or any member of the orchestra (or
even a combination of players!). This work paints
a portrait of a sleepy, late night in Brazil as a lone
tango dancer walks the streets. Every member
of the orchestra has the solo printed on the back
of their section part, giving directors incredible
flexibility with choosing a soloist or combination of
soloists. This piece provides a perfect vehicle for
reinforcing legato and hooked bowings, vibrato, and
light chromaticism. A powerful and beautiful work.

written at the request of a friend of the composer

responded to the aggressive style, approachable
rhythms, and quick tempo. Part independence
is kept to a minimum to help young players stay
together, and the wide dynamic range adds to the
drama of the piece. This is a bold selection that
students and teachers can both appreciate.
