To Tame the Raging Rapids—Brian Balmages.
Exhilarating! This work describes mankind's
constant fascination with some of the most

and test ourselves against the raging rapids. Highly
rhythmic and compelling, this work is destined to
thrill all who perform it. Can your orchestra tame
the untamable?

Triumph—Armond Wimberly. Long melodic
lines over heavy syncopated 16th-note figures
accompanied by body slaps and foot stomps create
an exciting musical landscape that young orchestras
will want to experience over and over. The middle
section provides a smooth contrast while keeping the
tension building into an intense, climactic conclusion.

Attack of the Walking Basses—Bob Phillips.
Perfect for young orchestras, this Halloween bass-
tacular features the entire bass section playing riffs
and walking bass lines. The piece is written in first
position for violins, violas, and cellos, but everyone
gets to play exciting tremolos. Correlates with Sound
Innovations for String Orchestra, Book 1, Level 5.

Basses Loaded—Carrie Lane Gruselle.
Let your bass section shine and groove in
this upbeat medley of funk, swing and good
ol' fashioned rock n' roll! Opportunities for
improvisation are included (with written parts as
well) and an optional drumset part really adds to the
flair. While the basses show off, the other sections
of the orchestra also experience the contagious
rhythms and melodies as they get down and rock
out. An absolute showstopper!

l Blaze—Erica Donahoe. Just as the title suggests,
this piece is all full of fire! An opening theme in 3/4
with driving rhythms, heavy accents, and dramatic
dynamic shifts fuels the blaze. A more lyrical B
section in 4/4 with the cellos and violas at the fore
provides a great contrast. Players are given the
opportunity to reinforce both forward and backward
extensions as well as accented and off-the-bow
strokes. All sections get the opportunity to shine.
A great opener!

Cello Squadron—Richard Meyer. Listen closely
and you'll hear them coming...it's the Cello
Squadron to the rescue! This fun and exciting
section feature has it all - roaring airplane engines
(on cello C strings of course!), dive-bombing
glissandos, and a heroic main theme based on
Wagner's famous Ride of the Valkyries. Designed to

practice their triplet rhythms, this piece is sure to
spark the imagination of all your students.

gets featured in this fun, Spanish-flavored original
by Richard Meyer! This piece is a great motivator for
your up-and-coming young cellists and is a great
change of pace for any concert program. Features

Creatures of the Deep—Timothy J. Isham.
A double bass section feature! Using positions
I-IV in the bass, the part sounds and looks harder
than it really is, making your bass section look and
sound great. Perfect for beginning bassists who are
comfortable in IV position as proscribed in several
popular methods. Scoring gives each section an
interesting part while leaving lots of space for the
basses to be heard in the texture.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo—Antonio Vivaldi/
arr. Don Brubaker. It's Vivaldi's Gloria - without
the singers! This string orchestra arrangement
of Vivaldi's choral masterwork is the perfect
introduction for young string players. It retains the
composer's key of D Major and features solo/soli
parts for your advanced players. Teach or reinforce
hooked bowing in each section of the orchestra.
Everyone will enjoy the rhythmic vitality and
harmonic beauty of this enduring masterwork.

l Hello Cellos—Ingrid Koller. Not surprisingly,
this piece in D major highlights the cello section.
Young cellists will love having the melody and
several brief solos. Though the focus is on the cellos,
every section has plenty to do. Shifting in bass part
is marked clearly. Its repetitive rhythms and finger
patterns make this an easy piece to teach in a group
setting. Optional piano and third violin parts are
included. The optional piano part adds harmonic
and rhythmic interest.

4 Vanguard (A Bass Section Adventure)—
Doug Spata. Get your superstar bass section out of
the back row and into the spotlight! The basses have
the opportunity to show off their hooked bowing and
dotted rhythm playing skills. But the other sections
are not forgotten! The middle section gives the rest
of the orchestra fresh melodies and practice shifting
between C naturals and C sharps. This work is also a
great opportunity to introduce or reinforce cut time.

Viola Concerto (Second Movement)—
Georg Philipp Telemann/arr. Todd Parrish.
Not just for the viola section! Both violins and violas

and power of their instrument.

Viva Violas—Richard Meyer. Take out the

Spanish style! It begins in a paso doble reminiscent

a major-key allegretto where the violas even get a
chance to glissando!

all! This lovely and creative original work gives
