Celtica (for Solo Violin and Orchestra)—
Brian Balmages. What could be more inspiring
to your young players than playing with an
advanced musician? Offer the solo to a local

your next concert. Or, inspire your players by
offering an easier version of the solo to be
played by a member of your orchestra. It's a
win-win situation for everyone! Your players
will love the chance to play the lyrical lines and
powerful, driving rhythms of Celtic music.

Dance of the Sprites—Larry Clark. Sprites
are imaginary creatures such as elves, pixies,
imps, or fairies. Imagine these tiny little
creatures having a joyous time frolicking and
dancing about. The opening is a lively, reel-
like dance that is great for teaching staccato
and scale technique, which is contrasted by

unique and colorful piece for this level! Desert
Sands introduces low first and second fingers

Dragon Chase—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Who
wouldn't love an exhilarating one-octave
E-minor tune about dragons? Driving rhythms
and melodies echoing from section to section
will engage your students. Musical elements
such as marcato, accents, crescendos, and bow
lifts make it an excellent teaching piece. The first
violin part includes carefully placed low twos
on the A string, while the other sections stick
mainly to a six-note range. Great for a younger
orchestra with a wide variety of ability levels!

melody. Later, a quiet pizzicato section by all
players brings to mind the sound of oriental
stringed instruments. This is an excellent
work that is suited for all players at the easy to
medium-easy level.

or third year ensembles.

Dynamic Forces—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. A
high-energy and engaging original composition

dynamics and the rhythmic tension of

forces" that will greatly enhance your players'
bowing technique and counting skills.

11502075 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 8.00
Eagle Soaring—Brian Holmes. As the title
suggests, this original work soars! An energetic
opening eighth-note pattern in the upper strings
providing the perfect backdrop for the soaring
melody in the cello and bass sections. The
beautiful and lyrical contrasting B themes
maintains the drive. The tempo remains constant
throughout as the pulsating rhythm of the
opening theme is passed from section to section.
A powerful way to begin or end a concert.

Ember Dance—Erica Donahoe. The
smoldering remains of a fire flicker back to life
in this original work for string orchestra. This
piece is a musical expression of the glowing
ashes and sparks that dance through the night
air around a fire. This is accomplished with
edgy rhythms and snap (Bartok) pizzicato
effects. Exaggerated dynamics and precise
articulations add energy and interest, allowing
all members of the orchestra to sparkle!
