H O Magnum Mysterium—Morten Lauridsen/arr.

by storm as a concert band arrangement. But it
has never been available for strings - until now!

lines and lovely harmonies will both challenge and

October—Eric Whitacre/arr. Paul Lavender.

dramatic and evocative music is evident in concert
programming everywhere. October, one of his most
notable symphonic works, is now adapted in this
stunning version for strings.

The Odyssey—Soon Hee Newbold. The Odyssey
is a timeless Greek tale that is relevant to every
generation, and Soon Hee Newbold has created a
thrilling musical depiction for your strings to play!
Odysseus' return home from the Trojan War was
filled with obstacles and encounters with the Lotus
Eaters, the Cyclops, the Sorceress Circe, and the
enchanting Sirens, among others. Multiple effects
include col legno, mutes, and harmonics (which are
all explained in detail in the performance notes).
The incredible symphonic nature of the entire work
gives your orchestra a huge sound without the need
for any winds or percussion. It's a thrilling addition
to any performance.

The Old Boatman—Florence Price/arr. Dana
Perna. This lyric work is a shining presentation of
Price's signature style. The opening G major theme
modulates to A major, featuring brief solos for
violin and cello. Although short, the piece requires
mature musicality, shifting skills, and vibrato from
your ensemble, with moments of delicate dynamics
and rubato.

Oliverian Fantasy—Brian Balmages. This
powerful, heartfelt work pays tribute to a student
gone too soon who left behind a melody he
composed as part of a class project. This setting
takes that melody and expands into a beautiful
and highly emotional musical story that will prove
to be a rewarding experience for the developed
string orchestra. Approx. performance time: 8:00.
Stunning and unforgettable.

On the Pilgrim's Road—Jeffrey S. Bishop. This
exciting work for string orchestra features thematic
material taken from songs of the 12th to 14th
century "Pilgrim Road" to Jerusalem. Technically
demanding, the driving thematic materials of the
opening and closing sections alternate between
arco melodies and pizzicato countermelodies. The
middle, plaintive section balances the outer frenetic
sections. It's a unique piece that works equally well
for winter and spring concerts.

The Patron Saint of Ballyvourney—John Mock.
A bit of Irish lore woven into a mystical piece for
string orchestra. With subtle nods to the folk writing
of Vaughan Williams, this original work is based
on the story of St. Ghobnait, also known as the
patron saint of Ballyvourney. Contrasting fast and
slow sections represent her journey to the island of
Inishere before eventually settling in Ballyvourney,
County Cork.

l Percussive Thoughts for Strings—Donald

finish. The memorable main theme against a
backdrop of percussive, pulsating, and punctuated
sixteenth notes along cascading eighth notes
creates a fast and furious musical experience!
11349279 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .60.00
Perpetuoso—Brian Holmes. Opening with a
catchy theme, this work explores countermelodies
as well as recurrences of the theme. Syncopated
rhythms are common and are aided by running
eighth notes that help subdivide the pattern. It's a
powerful, technically challenging work that students
will love to play.

Phantom Dance—Steven L. Rosenhaus. This
lively and engaging original work is built on a
catchy and heavily syncopated main theme. A
fresh harmonic texture and dramatic effects add
to the excitement, as does the constant shifting
of meters between 2/2 and 3/2 which are well
supported by unison rhythms. An independent
but not solo harp part adds the perfect color.
Audiences and players alike will love this must-
have gem!
11346184 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Phantom Waltz—Chris Thomas. Inspired
by a photo of a ghostly, forgotten ballroom in
Shanghai, Phantom Waltz is a melancholy echo of
the past. This 6/8 piece features two solo cellos,
melodramatic melodies, and colorful accidentals for
dramatic effect. A cinematic, emotional, and richly
textured work for string orchestra. Optional viola
solo parts are included.

Power Shift—Kathryn Griesinger. Work on shifting
technique with a powerhouse rock performance!
Driving, accented bass lines and syncopated
melodies energize this original piece that follows
the form and style of pop song standards. Carefully
written melodies give every instrument the chance
to practice shifting to third position and beyond,
as well as harmonics, extended C-sharp finger
patterns, and pizzicato riffs. Add a rocking drumset
for a dynamite presentation.

l Pride of the Highlands—Katie O'Hara LaBrie.
Journey to the countryside of Scotland as you
imagine the sound of bagpipes rolling over a
heather moor. This original work explores in great
depth the vast rhythmical landscape of 6/8 time,
including hemiola sections. This piece is also an
excellent opportunity to expand range and overall
musicianship. Drone effects in the low strings add
the perfect Scottish flavor!
