ORIGNAL CONCERT WORKS medium
Sanseneon—Robert Frost. Here's a dynamic
and exhilarating work for strings! Renowned
teacher-composer Robert Frost knows how
to make strings sound great and this time he
brings out the fiery side of string playing! Set
in G minor and beginning Allegro con Fuoco,
the music begins strong and remains strong,
captivating both player and listener until its
striking conclusion.

Sea Squall—Eric B. Davis. A pulsating tale
about the journey of a ship traveling across
turbulent seas. As the piece progresses,
variations of the primary theme change like the
winds: sometimes calm and safe, sometimes
stormy and powerful. Contrasting dynamics
and articulations undulate like an unpredictable
storm on the high seas.

The Shapeshifters—Anthony Granata. A
challenging and engaging programmatic work
for advancing orchestras. Shapeshifting - the
ability to change one's physical form - is a
perfect analogy for what is required from
your student musicians. If you're teaching a
unit on shifting, then ALL your sections (yes,
second violins, too!) can practice shifting
into third position. This work tells the story
of misunderstood shapeshifters who at
first seem both beautiful and harmless (the
Largo section) but suddenly transform into
frightening creatures (Allegro). Set in the
key of G minor, students will be exposed
to demanding technical requirements while
encountering beautiful harmonic suspensions
and frighteningly dissonant and abrupt chords.
Concluding with an overlay of both the Largo
and Allegro themes, this piece is sure to engage
orchestras and please audiences! (3:45)

She Will Hang the Night with Stars—William
Hofeldt. William Hofeldt's inspiration has come
from the Oscar Wilde poem with the same
name. Its sheer depth and beauty is clearly
Hofeldt at his best. Contains shifting work
during octave divisi moments.

Sicilian Waltz—Leonard Ingrande. This waltz
will make you feel like you're on the beautiful
island of Sicily. Filled with great teaching points
including dynamics, slurs, triple stops, trills, and
lyrical melodies, this is a perfect piece for your
next concert or contest.

Attack of the Walking Basses—Bob Phillips.
Perfect for young orchestras, this Halloween bass-tacular
features the entire bass section playing riffs and walking
bass lines. The piece is written in first position for violins,
violas, and cellos, but everyone gets to play exciting
tremolos. Correlates with Sound Innovations for String
Orchestra, Book 1, Level 5.

Blaze—Erica Donahoe. Just as the title suggests,
this piece is all full of fire! An opening theme in 3/4 with
driving rhythms, heavy accents, and dramatic dynamic
shifts fuels the blaze. A more lyrical B section in 4/4 with
the cellos and violas at the fore provides a great contrast.
Players are given the opportunity to reinforce both
forward and backward extensions as well as accented
and off-the-bow strokes. All sections get the opportunity
to shine. A great opener!

Cello Squadron—Richard Meyer. Listen closely
and you'll hear them coming...it's the Cello Squadron
to the rescue! This fun and exciting section feature has
it all - roaring airplane engines (on cello C strings of
course!), dive-bombing glissandos, and a heroic main
theme based on Wagner's famous Ride of the Valkyries.
Designed to give everyone in the orchestra a chance to
learn and practice their triplet rhythms, this piece is sure
to spark the imagination of all your students.
10066913 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 50.00
Cellos Ole!—Richard Meyer. No doubt about who
gets featured in this fun, Spanish-flavored original by
Richard Meyer! This piece is a great motivator for your
up-and-coming young cellists and is a great change of
pace for any concert program. Features a lyrical melody
in the cellos set against a pizzicato accompaniment in
the other strings, and includes parts for maracas and
claves that can be spread among the sections. Your
students will love this one!

Dance of the Bowless Basses
(String Bass Section Feature)—Bob Phillips.
A cute, pedagogically based first-year bass section
feature, this piece will be fun and is sure to make your
beginners sound fabulous. This piece is in first position
for all players except basses. Basses shift up to C and D
on the G string and only play pizzicato. This great bass
section feature is sure to become an integral part of your
standard repertoire! (2:00)

Gloria in Excelsis Deo—Antonio Vivaldi/
arr. Don Brubaker. It's Vivaldi's Gloria - without the
singers! This string orchestra arrangement of Vivaldi's
choral masterwork is the perfect introduction for young
string players. It retains the composer's key of D Major
and features solo/soli parts for your advanced players.
Teach or reinforce hooked bowing in each section of the
orchestra. Everyone will enjoy the rhythmic vitality and
harmonic beauty of this enduring masterwork.

Jingle Basses—arr. Bob Phillips. Cute, fun, and a true
beginning bass feature! This is the perfect piece to add
Santa hats, tinsel, lights and other festive decorations.
An excellent selection to work on off-beat playing and
counting rests. Ho, ho, ho!
10370577 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . VE 46.00
Moon Bass—Todd Parrish. Let your string bass
section swing in this easy-to-play blues piece as they
build skills and enjoy the motivation of being in the
spotlight. Basses carry the melody much of the time
while also accompanying the melody as it weaves
through other sections. All parts stay in first position,
except the bass shifts briefly to third position. Educational
objectives include playing accidentals, contrasting
between staccato and legato, and learning to play in a
swing style.
10280368 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 45.00
Vanguard (A Bass Section Adventure)—
Doug Spata. Get your superstar bass section out of
the back row and into the spotlight! The basses have
the opportunity to show off their hooked bowing and
dotted rhythm playing skills. But the other sections are
not forgotten! The middle section gives the rest of the
orchestra fresh melodies and practice shifting between
C naturals and C sharps. This work is also a great
opportunity to introduce or reinforce cut time.

Viola Concerto (Second Movement)—
Georg Philipp Telemann/arr. Todd Parrish.
Not just for the viola section! Both violins and violas

and power of their instrument.

a flowing legato section. Easy to rehearse, and fun for
every section!
10370736 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 49.00
Viva Violas—Richard Meyer. Take out the castanets
because the violas are taking the stage, Spanish style! It
begins in a paso doble reminiscent of a vigorous Spanish
guitar solo, then moves into a major-key allegretto where
the violas even get a chance to glissando!
2475430 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 60.00

This lovely and creative original work gives your viola
