and tight rhythms of this Grade 2 original will
help students develop quick and crisp bowing
technique! A fast and furious theme requires
precision in playing staccato and hooked bowings
while managing string crossings, resulting in a
great teaching piece and concert feature. This
piece remains within first position with just a few
slurs and 16th-note patterns.

Irish Junkyard Jam—Brian Balmages.
Featuring string quartet and orchestra, this tour
de force follows a few straggling Irish musicians
(the quartet) who find themselves in a junkyard
picking up scrap instruments. As the quartet
begins to find their groove, they are joined by the
rest of the orchestra and the party is on! While not
based on a specific folk song, the piece draws on
elements ranging from a traditional pub band to
Irish step dance. Fun, and playable on acoustic or
electric instruments.
