ORIGINAL CONCERT WORKS
The Island of Saints and Scholars—David
O'Fallon. "The island of saints and scholars" is an
old nickname for Ireland dating back to the early
Middle Ages. This original work is a reflection
upon Ireland's rich and turbulent history, which
can be heard in the lyrical melodic phrases, ever-
changing meter, and moments of dissonance.
The rhythmic profile of the piece was suggested
by a type of Old Irish verse that carries seven
syllables per line, resulting in a vibrant and
spirited musical experience.

New Chances, New Dances—Richard Meyer.
This lively rondo begins with the famous theme
from Paganini's Caprice No. 24, reworked into a
5/4 dance with a cool vibe. Woven into the rondo
form are three original dances - a tango, a country
dance, and a waltz - each a musical adventure
of its own. The colorful orchestration gives every
member of your ensemble an unforgettable
and joyful experience while the wide variety of
playing styles and musical challenges make
this imaginative selection the perfect choice for
contest or festival. (4:10)

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.

Samba for a Sunday Afternoon (for String
Orchestra with Latin Percussion)—Thom
Sharp. Take your students on an auditory trip
through the streets of Brazil with this challenging
but fun samba. Written for string orchestra, drum
set, and caxixi (a large gourd shaker), this piece
provides the perfect opportunity to incorporate
your school's percussion students into your
string program. Every section gets a shot at the
melody supported by the rhythmic intricacies and
contemporary harmonies found in the music of
Brazil. Don't be surprised to see your audience
gently swaying in their seats or creating an
impromptu samba line as your students play this
dance-worthy tune. If your school has an active
percussion ensemble, you can incorporate a
whole samba drum line in place of the drum set!

anything more exciting than being at the ocean

picture. Covering a wide range of 6/8 rhythms,
this piece is a fun and rewarding musical and
technical challenge.

Turtlewood Stomp—Matthew Gelfer. There will

this a challenging but rewarding experience.
