Rites of Tamburo—Robert W. Smith.
Entrancing instrumental colors burst into
splashes of energy from the brass and rhythm
sections, biting dissonances abound, and a
constant surge of excitement flows through the
piece. There's even a measure where the brass
are invited to "pick-a-note" as they crescendo
into a resolving chord... a really neat effect!

River Run—Thom Sharp. River Run by Thom
Sharp is a quick-paced grade 3 string orchestra
piece in e minor. The first A section has most
of the orchestra providing a syncopated
rhythmic underpinning while the first violins
take the lead with a flowing melody. The first
B section is scored in the relative major and
features long, flowing independent melody in
the upper three voices. When the A section
returns, we hear the melody first in the first
violins. Then the celli and double basses
take the melody while the upper three voices
provide a voiced counterpoint. The B theme
returns, played in octaves by the violins while
the lower voices provide a rolling arpeggiated
accompaniment. The final A section features
an ostinato figure in the first violins while the
second violins and the violas take the melody.
The texture thins out as the pace slows to the
final cadence.

beauty sounds like.

The Road to Andalusia—Eric B. Davis. This
exciting and exotic-sounding work captures all
the flair and drama of Flamenco music from the
southern region of Spain. Based around the G
minor scale, the syncopated eighth-note and
snappy sixteenth-note rhythms will make the
audience want to join in the dance! An excellent
vehicle for teaching players to use different
parts of the bow to create various articulations
and colors!

Ruby Mountain Serenade—John Atteberry.
The folk-like tune may seem familiar but is a
lovely and lyrical original. Beginning in D major,
this graceful tone poem opens intimately, with
optional soloists from each section. Following
the introduction, all sections of the orchestra
work to guide the music through statements of
the primary and secondary themes, leading to a
smooth modulation to F major and an emotional
climax. A great opportunity for young musicians
to explore programmatic music. (3:00)
