H Spartacus—Brian Balmages. Return to the time
of the Roman Empire and Spartacus! The opening
signifies the harsh life of a gladiator while a fast,
energetic section pays homage to his brilliance
as a military tactician. Explosive rhythms,
memorable melodies, and innovative harmonies
all combine to make this piece unforgettable!
Thrilling and highly recommended!

Struggle in the Shadows—Brian Balmages.
This powerful work tackles the issue of bullying
in schools from the perspective of a student.
Making use of a quartet within the ensemble
(either a standard quartet or two violins and two
cellos), the piece moves between the voices of
the lonely and their experiences. From moments
of solitude to anguish and hope, this piece seeks
to bring light to an issue that continues to plague
schools worldwide.

Surge—Bruce Tippette. A rhythmically high-
powered piece for string orchestra, full of
syncopated rhythms that keep it perpetually driving
forward. Frequent abrupt dynamic changes will also
keep your students on their toes with this work. Set
in E minor, Surge races from start to finish, broken
only by a brief slow section that builds to a strong,
fast finish.

Swashbucklers Saga—Chris Thomas. In a
classic pirate jig style, this music explores 6/8 meter
with brisk marcato bowings. A contrasting romantic
lyrical section features soaring melodies amid lush
harmonies before the energetic jig returns.

meditative work, perfect for your concert program.

H
Terra Nova—Richard Meyer. From the opening
measures to a driving finish, this exceptional
work keeps everyone's attention and gives your
developing group a new level of maturity! Featuring
a contemporary, "hip" sound, infectious modal
melodies and changing meter signatures, this
also gives every section a chance in the spotlight.
Teaching opportunities abound as your students
explore low finger patterns (Bb and F naturals),
dynamic contrast, accents, syncopation, balance,
and rhythmic independence. An excellent choice!

The Reel Deal—Chris M. Bernotas. Sure to be
a favorite, this exciting original reel lies well in the
key of D major. Surprising harmonies add to the
originality of this piece. All of the instruments get a
chance to play the melody, and clear fingerings and
bowings have been added throughout. The optional
cajon creates an authentic Irish feel. A perfect
closer to any festival or concert!

Turning Point—Robert Longfield. This impressive
concert work is bold, contemporary writing for
today's string orchestras. In concert overture style,
it has all the elements that will entice your students
to do their very best. With modal harmony, a driving
rhythmic main theme, contrasting lyric section and
skilled string orchestration, Turning Point is an ideal
program choice.

Two Sea Shanties—Traditional/arr. John Mock.
Sea shanties (or chanteys) were folk songs sung
a cappella by sailors to set a rhythm for specific
tasks on a ship performed in unison. Though
shanties were practical, most are very beautiful
melodies as well. Chosen for their lyricism, these
two expressive songs, Go To Sea Once More and
The Banks of Newfoundland, are arranged for string
orchestra with flowing phrases and interwoven
harmonies that express a love for the sea.

Under a Winter Sky—Yukiko Nishimura. This
beautiful work captures the awesome wonder of a
winter's eve. Using simple rhythms and lyrical lines,
a mood of reflection and solitude leads to a faster,
syncopated middle section before settling back into
the tranquility of a quiet night. Easy accidentals
create lush harmonies that reflect the magic of a
snowy landscape.

View from a Porch Swing—Peter Sciaino. With
flowing melodic content, reasonable technical
demands, and cinematic orchestration, this
sentimental selection will provide depth to any
concert program. Young players will reinforce
meter and tempo changes as well as lyrical
playing. First violins shift to fourth position. The
piano part is necessary.

Viola Country—Richard Meyer. Spotlight your
magnificent violas in this feature with Western
flavors, and give your "unsung heroes" a chance
to show off. Includes a heroic opening, a flashy
"fiddle" melody and a flowing legato section. Easy
to rehearse, and fun for every section!
