Confluence—Renata Bratt. This piece is the
confluence of J.S. Bach and South America. A
lively, Brazilian-influenced tune in C minor uses
a chord progression, suggested by Bach, in jazz
form. Confluence begins with a passionate cello
solo and brief violin solo. All instrument groups (or
student solos) have an opportunity to shine in the
suggested solo section after the presentation of the
tune, first by the violas. A unique opportunity for
string students to absorb jazz haromonies!

Dance of Youth—arr. Xinyu (Maggie) Francis-Ma.
This joyful dance contains wonderful stylistic
influences from the Xinjiang province of China.
From syncopated accompaniment figures to
soaring lyric melodies, this arrangement has it
all. There is one key change in the middle from A
minor to G minor and back. Excellent for teaching
chromaticism, augmented seconds, and a variety of
bow strokes. Violin 1 and cello require shifting.

Darkened Shadows—Joshua Reznicow.

musical instruction.

the piece moves through a series of "diversions"
held together by a common theme.

parts. Hand claps and the optional drum set add a
fun, energetic groove.

for string orchestra inspired by the composer's
childhood experience living along the eastern
shore of Connecticut. The three sections of this
composition represent the towns of New London,

London in the end. Soaring melodies and flowing

Emperor in the Countryside—Ludwig van
Beethoven/arr. Kevin Sluder. This medley of
themes from Beethoven's Emperor concerto and

work is an excellent opportunity to introduce young
players to essential classic literature!

opens with a beautiful and expressive violin solo
accompanied by harp, which leads into a small
ensemble setting that transitions to a lively 6/8.
A lyrical and flowing middle section showcases
dramatic violin and viola sweeps. Players

compound meter, and hemiola rhythm skills as well
as overall musicianship. The harp part is required.

ostinatos and lyrical phrases in string-friendly D

and dynamics, with just a few extended finger
patterns. Extremely fun to play and hear!

Hee Newbold explores the world of Spanish music
