Of Glorious Plumage—Richard Meyer. Using
the lush and modal harmonies associated with the
Impressionistic period, Of Glorious Plumage depicts
birds both at rest and in flight. The second part of
the piece depicts glorious flocks of birds in majestic
flight using a hauntingly beautiful melody in 9/8.
A wonderful exploration of Impressionist sonorities
and orchestration techniques for the advanced high
school string orchestra.

Orion and the Scorpion—Soon Hee Newbold.
Tension sets in with the opening cello solo, swathed
in mysticism and an omen for the adventure to
come. Ethereal harmonic colors of the night sky
where Orion was imprisoned give way to a high
energy, 6/8 main theme, depicting the conqueror's
epic journeys that made him a legend. This one
packs lots of cinematic thrill for performers and
audiences to enjoy!

Out of Time—Sean O'Loughlin. This intense
work for string orchestra is an exhilarating piece of
music. Moments of lush tutti playing are pierced
by fresh-sounding rhythmic interplay between all
voices of the orchestra.

Overture to the Wind—Kirt Mosier. Expressing
the many different moods and events of a storm,
the opening begins with the violins playing a
gripping ostinato pattern suggesting that a storm
is coming. The first two themes convey the erratic
tendency of powerful gusty winds. The storm
moves into a peaceful lull with a melancholy third
theme played by a solo violin and viola. The storm
then grows in intensity as the final statement
combines all the elements (or themes) of the storm.

H Palladio—Karl Jenkins. This is the enchanting
music used in the De Beers "Diamonds"
commercial! Subtitled Concerto Grosso, it consists
of three separate movements, each eminently
attractive and using some "minimalist" techniques.
Not an arrangement, this is the original work as
written by the composer.

H Perseus—Soon Hee Newbold. Take a journey
with the legendary hero Perseus as he slays the
snake-haired Medusa and rescues the princess
Andromeda! From the opening rhythmic figures
to the soaring melodies, this dynamic and
stunning work will command the attention of your
audience and plunge them into a whirlwind of
adventure. Riveting!
10066401 String Orchestra . . . . . . .MA 55.00

Point Lookout—Brian Balmages. Inspired by the
rich history of Point Lookout State Park in Maryland,
this fantasy on civil war songs pays tribute to the
remnants of Fort Lincoln, which served as a Civil
War fortification. Songs used in the fantasy include:
The Battle Cry of Freedom; Battle Hymn of the
Republic; and When Johnny Comes Marching
Home Again. The piece is tied together with
excerpts from America, the Beautiful, which comes
in fully toward the end of the work. Magical!

Red Rhythmico—Kirt Mosier. Show off multiple
soloists with this slick, original jazz piece for
experienced strings. Kirt Mosier brings the heat
in this follow up to Blue Rhythmico with the
kind of textures that only strings can create with
highlighted pizzicato and spiccatto for emphasis.
Written solos are included, or players can explore
how the music moves them.

Rhythm Dances—Brian Balmages. Unleash your
orchestra with this wild dance that includes moments
of lightheartedness, unabashed lyricism, and intense
rhythmic outbursts. A riveting performance will take
an audience on an emotional roller coaster as the
musical lines trot, stumble, float, run, and eventually
barrel into the dynamic conclusion.

Scherzo—Roger Zare. This jaunty scherzo will
take your ensemble on a high-speed ride! Sections
take turns bouncing around the catchy melodies
before slowing for a detour with lush, yearning
harmonies. The music eventually returns to its
original tempo before a delightfully unexpected
ending. Exhilarating!

l Spirited Voyage—Joshua Reznicow. Positive
spirit and joyful energy! All sections have a lot of
action in two distinct melodic themes. The opening
and the primary spirited theme are coupled with an
emotional but gorgeous second melody reminiscent
of American fiddle ballads. With big sweeping
cinematic moments followed by an upbeat and
energetic ending, this piece promises to be a unique
program choice as an opener or closer. Solos for the
viola as well as for violin, cello, and bass.
11348444 String Orchestra . . . . . . .MA 56.00
H Suite for Strings—John Rutter. In the tradition of
Britten, Holst, and Vaughan Williams before him,
British composer John Rutter has composed a
wonderful work for strings based on the rich legacy
of folk music of the British Isles. World renowned
for his choral music, John Rutter's work for strings
has become a modern classic. This work is based
on four folk songs: They Are A-Roving; I Have a
Bonnet Trimmed with Blue; O Waly Waly (The
Water Is Wide) and Dashing Away. Duration: 12
minutes. The set includes a full score and strings
parts (4/4/3/4/2). Give your orchestra a chance to
play this wonderful work!

Swamp Thang—Richard Meyer. Hotter than a
Cajun barbecue, this tour de force for the advanced
string orchestra is a workout for all of your students
(and their conductor!) Conjuring up images of the
Deep South, this jazzy rondo never lets up from start
to finish, featuring the most sumptuous syncopations

breathtaking display of technique, energy, and
artistry. Highly rhythmic and engaging, this piece
is destined to bring down the house!

Urban Concerto Grosso—Brian Balmages. This
inventive and stunning composition is a modernized
version of the original concerto grosso dating back
to the Baroque era. Written for soloists on electric
instruments, it is also possible to do acoustically.
An ideal way to feature guest soloists, faculty
members or talented students, the music explores
a wide range of styles, yet the orchestra parts are
not difficult to put together. At times, the piece
sounds like Stravinsky. At other times, with the use
of distortion pedals, the audience will feel like they
are at a heavy metal concert. Incredibly unique, and
guaranteed to bring down the house!

Vanishing Pointe—Richard Meyer. This original
selection will challenge every section of your
more accomplished high school string orchestra
both musically and technically. Jazz rhythms and
an intense mood dominate much of the piece,
but make way briefly for a lyrical middle section
featuring lush, beautiful harmonies. The "vanishing
points" are rendered by contrary motion, crescendos
and decrescendos through the work and a brief solo
section for two violins adds to the interest.

rhythms of the theme song from the original

alteration, yet also great practice for third and fourth
fingers for violin and viola as well as bow lifts and
double-stops, all in an accessible format. Correlates
with "Orchestra Expressions" Book Two.
