ORIGINAL CONCERT WORKS medium
Frost on the Plow—Samuel Gelfer. An
energetic composition perfect for introducing
some fiddlin' fun to your concert! The
relentless pace and syncopated bass
accompaniment depict a stormy winter
season, melting into spring. Players will
encounter fiddle techniques such as shuffle-
bowing, chops, and double-stops at a brisk
tempo. Each section is given interesting
melodic lines, and optional guitar adds an
authentic folk music feel.

Galop—Brian Balmages. Strains of
Shostakovich can he heard in this fun original
from Brian Balmages. This is a wonderful
teaching piece to introduce your players to the
"galop" style noted for energetic forward motion
and off-the-string marcato bowings, balanced
with disciplined restraint.

A Grainger Suite—Percy Aldridge Grainger/arr.
Robert D. McCashin. Explores the various styles,
techniques, and unmistakable chromaticism
characteristic of Grainger's music in the string
orchestra setting. The three movements are
Country Gardens; Irish Tune from County
Derry and Children's March. The arrangement
makes this accessible to intermediate groups
while staying true to the character of Grainger's
original music. A perfect way to work on phrasing
and chromatic fingerings without requiring a
great deal of technique.

Greater Than...—Brian Balmages.
Commissioned by the National String Project
Consortium, this gorgeous lyrical work for
beginning and developing string students
can be performed alone as an intermediate-
level piece or with multi-level supplemental
parts (available separately). Orchestrated to
celebrate inclusion and diversity, the multi-level
option is designed to sound far "greater than"
the intermediate version alone. An outstanding
choice for a festival setting or pyramid concert.

The Guardian Hero—Joshua V. Hinkel.
This driving, high-energy rock work for string

section provides the chance for everyone to

scoring before returning to the excitement
of the beginning. Sure to be a favorite and a
must-have in your library!

and moods.

a young violinist from Elmhurst, Illinois, as well
as Ms. Dorothy Straub, whose lifelong career

educators worldwide for decades. Includes an
optional (and highly recommended) harp part.

Incantations—Richard Meyer. Two solo violins
and a solo viola introduce this piece through a
haunting, lyrical theme, which is subsequently
taken up by the entire orchestra. It expands,
gradually morphing into a fast and frenetic
second theme. The two themes are then heard
at the same time, each vying for attention. The
pace slackens momentarily before a wild coda
closes the piece. Full of a wide variety of colors
and interesting tonalities, this work gives every
section of the mature string orchestra a chance
to shine.

Intermezzo (From Hary Janos Suite)—
Zoltan Kodaly/arr. Douglas E. Wagner. Written
in the style of a spirited Czardas, a traditional
Hungarian folk dance, Intermezzo is the fifth
movement of the Hary Janos Suite, drawn
from the opera of the same name. Full of life
and endless energy, the music instantly grabs
the audience's attention, cheering the spirit
with driving rhythms and dynamic themes. An
impressive addition to any concert, the work
is a worthy upper-level showpiece for spring
contests. (4:30)

Intermezzo (From Cavalleria Rusticana)—
Pietro Mascagni/arr. Katie O'Hara LaBrie.
Lyrical. Delicate. Passionate. These words
barely touch the surface of this beautiful
arrangement of Intermezzo from Pietro
Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana. Arranger
Katie O'Hara LaBrie explores expressive
playing with music well within reach of younger
ensembles while also being an excellent option
for more mature groups. An optional harp part
adds depth and detail. (2:30)

Invicta—Soon Hee Newbold. Showcase a
student or bring in a guest artist to perform with
your beginning students! Includes advanced
solo violin and viola parts along with easier
violin and viola solos as options. An included
piano part works well for recitals as well as
adding great harmonic support and color to the
overall ensemble.

Irish Legend—Robert Kerr & Soon Hee
Newbold. Showcase your strings with fire and
flair in the style of Riverdance and traditional
Celtic music! Written by Robert Kerr and
arranged for strings by Soon Hee Newbold,
this air and jig is a dramatic finale to any
concert. Dazzling violin solos (both lyrical
and technical) and highly rhythmic passages
accompanied by drum set really set this work
apart. Optional piano and harp add to the
sound of a work destined to bring down the
house. A great closer!

Jump!—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Who's ready to
jump into shifting!? A perfect introduction to the
world beyond first position, this piece features
shifting in all parts - not just the first violins! The
apt title also refers to many jump-like concepts
that can be taught on string instruments:
intervals, angular rhythms, bow lifts, and even
a D.S. al coda! This work contains a wealth of
educational value along with a melody that will
engage even your jumpiest students.

La Bella Cubana—Jose White/arr. Robert
Debbaut. In addition to numerous etudes and a
virtuosic violin concerto, violinist Joseph (Jose)
White Lafitte composed this habanera for two
violins, La Bella Cubana. In this string orchestra
arrangement, the lyrical melodic solos are
spread throughout the orchestra and traditional
Cuban dance rhythms in the middle theme
capture the vibrant joy of the original work.

Labyrinth—Christian A. Williams. Follow the
twists and turns of this eerie dance through a
dark maze of shadows. In this danse macabre
style waltz, phantoms and whispers haunt every
turn as the E minor melody steps down a creepy
chromatic staircase. Students will experience
unexpected accidentals, sneaky pizzicato,
and a variety of bowing patterns that alternate
from tip-toe staccato to slurred phrases that
accelerate as it descends into madness!
