ORIGINAL CONCERT WORKS medium
Arachnid's Lair—Kirt Mosier. Though perfect
for Halloween, Arachnid's Lair can be performed
any time of year. The dark, subtle introduction with
molto crescendos and decrescendos hint at the
sinister plan an arachnid has for its prey. Dissonant
harmonies, dramatic dynamics, and tempo
changes add to the movement on the spider's web.
A brief but hauntingly beautiful viola solo is offered
in the middle section before the final buildup to an
exciting climax!

Autumn Harvest—Chris Thomas. Autumn is
a glorious time of year! The air is crisp and cool,
smelling of fireplaces, and the trees burst into a
display of amber and gold before disappearing
into winter's silence. Several variations of the main
theme explore varying keys, time signatures, and
styles. The piece builds to a joyous finale as all
the variations overlap in a cacophony of jubilant
counterpoint. A festive fall concert selection!

Backbone Trail—Sean O'Loughlin. No family of
instruments has the ability to portray the classic
Western sound more than strings, and this
wonderful work takes full advantage. From dance-
like motifs to singing, picturesque melodies, this
piece is a delight. With sixteenth-note passages,
shifting, pizzicato, legato, and lots of rhythmic
variation, this will also provide plenty of educational
opportunities. A treasure!

A Ballad of Inis Mor—Doug Spata. The
yearning, Irish-inspired melodies in A Ballad of
Inis Mor (pronounced IN-ish more) evoke a sense
of quiet reflection. The poignant theme begins
in the cello section, rising through the sections
amid flowing accompaniments that ebb and flow
with expressive dynamic and tempo changes.
Graceful embellishments, optional shifting, part
independence, and a variety of rhythms will
encourage listening across the ensemble to create
an elegant, unified sound.

Chicharra—Nicolas Repetto. A syncopated motive
in the viola and cello sections starts this diabolical
journey of dance and lyricism. The driving rhythms
and lyrical lines are infused with elements of the
tango, including the chicharra technique of playing
behind the bridge! A contrasting B section in 6/8
is almost waltz-like, showing the softer side of this
dance journey before resuming the original melody
with rhythm and fire.

Chimera—Eric Davis. This high-energy work is
based on the Greek mythological fire-breathing
monster that has a lion's head, a goat's body
and a serpent's tail. Three themes representing
each of these interact with one another and move
through a series of musical episodes in a battle
between the beast and the hero, Bellerophon.
Fun to play from the dramatic opening to the
exciting and heroic conclusion!

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.

musical instruction.

Deliberate Diversions—Brian Balmages. Feature
a guest artist or star student in this piece that
includes an advanced-level violin solo along with an

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

as well as pizzicato and col legno.

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,
Mystic, and Stonington, with a return to New
London in the end. Soaring melodies and flowing
legato lines provide an excellent opportunity to work
on phrasing, tone, and dynamic expression.
