Luminosity—Liam Ramsey-White. A fresh,
vivid, exciting, and very accessible original work
that captures the wonders of the heavens! Bell
tones and harmonic effects paint a vivid picture of
the night sky, and a beautiful lyrical melody over
staccato eighth and sixteenth notes with dramatic
dynamic effects makes this outstanding piece
an absolute must-have for your string orchestra
library! The fade-out effect at the end, representing
the night giving way into daybreak, is particularly
appealing. Players learn harmonics as well as
reinforce off-the-string bowing and meter changes.

Luna—Yukiko Nishimura. The title Luna is the
Latin word for "moon" which is the subject of
this lyrical original string orchestra work. In a
lilting waltz style, the composer has described the
inspiration as "imagining the sky with the moon
at daytime." Nishimura's gift for melody shines
throughout, especially in the middle section which
includes lush passages in the upper strings with
delicate pizzicato accompaniment.

brought about by changing meters. Your students
will love learning the aggressive, bold style that
comes with the changing rhythms.

Minor Altercations—Anthony Granata. Written in
the key of D minor, this intense contemporary piece

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.
