(De)composition—Caryn Neidhold. The
music is falling apart! Or is it? This creepy-
crawly composition starts deep underground
in the cello and bass sections with an ominous
theme, soon joined by the creaking, scratching,
and screeching of unearthly noises from the rest
of the zombie orchestra. Skittering fingertips,
scratchy ponticello, and eerie glissandi are just
a few of the fun extended techniques players
will encounter in this scary venture into the
dissonance of music - decomposing!

12th Street Blues—James Lockett. This
easy introduction to the blues scale features
a quintessential walking bass line in low
strings and piano. With a theme that reinforces
F-natural, C-natural, and B-flat finger patterns,
every section gets to play the soulful melody at
some point. Simple unison triplets, shouts, bow
lifts, and staccato articulations make this a fun
piece to learn and perform!

11559113 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 8.50
Adventure—Liam Ramsey-White. Go on a
heroic adventure with this original concert work.
Creative scoring spreads eighth-note passages
around to keep the momentum moving while
the long melodic lines get passed to all of the
sections. Students will reinforce simple part
independence, and the bass and cellos will
reinforce C natural.

Air Warriors—Erica Donahoe. With driving
bass lines and sweeping melodies, this piece
captures the warrior ethos of our many service
members and veterans of the United States Air
Force. Students will love the rhythmic drive of
the low string parts, and all performers get a
chance to shine in the melodic sections. Written
by USAF veteran (and veteran orchestra
director) Erica Donahoe, Air Warriors is a great
way to honor the veterans in your community!

Alley Cat Struttin'—David Samuel/arr. Caryn
Wiegand Neidhold. The original chart for jazz
ensemble has now been realized for the young
string orchestra. This bluesy, swinging piece
uses a pizzicato walking bass line throughout,
a written violin solo, and lots of tutti rhythms,
making it an excellent and accessible choice
for a young ensemble just starting on the path
to learning jazz. The drum set part is optional
but recommended.
11501765 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
11501766 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Alpine Glory—Erica Donahoe. Capturing
the picturesque beauty of the Swiss Alps,
this lush, beautiful piece will help your young
players develop a mature sound. With lots of
opportunities to practice legato bowing and
perhaps some early vibrato, cultivate a rich
and warm sound with a piece that gives every
player a moment to shine!
11574003 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00
11574071 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Antidote—Erica Donahoe. Inspired by the
composer's popular work Venom, this brings
the cure as well as a new level of excitement!
Lots of opportunities to work on musicianship
and solidify stylistic playing, especially pizzicato
and dynamics.
11562316 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
11562378 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Appalachian Sunrise—Doris Gazda. This
is an expressive depiction of the beauty of a
sunrise in the Appalachian Mountains. The lush
harmonies vividly convey the appreciation for
nature that inspired the composer.
2346757 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
5623996 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Asgard (A New Beginning)—Jeff Frizzi. Bold
E minor harmony and driving rhythms paired
with a flowing B section make this an ideal
choice for opening a concert.
11561622 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00
11561674 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Aspen Glow—Susan H. Day. Written to
evoke images of a radiant fall in the high
country, this work features interesting melodic
lines in all parts, a relaxing tempo, a variety of
articulations, and 3/4 time. Serene!
10312063 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .40.00
10312064 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Astral Dreams—Larry Clark. With a heroic
fanfare-like main theme and a dreamy
secondary theme, this excellent concert
opener is the perfect way to make an opening
statement. The low strings will love showing off
some power! Your young musicians will sound
full and mature.
11562032 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00
11562117 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Atishbaji (Fireworks)—Doug Spata. An
exciting selection with Indian flavor! Fireworks
are central to the traditional autumn Diwali
celebration, the Hindu festival of lights. Featuring
approachable rhythms and notes, this lively
and vivid piece also reinforces low-one finger
patterns. Represent Diwali at holiday concerts
or anytime to add a touch of world music to
the concert program. Optional percussion adds
even more color and style. Includes violin 3 (viola
in treble clef) and alternate viola (violin 2 in alto
clef) parts for flexibility.

10846053 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Attack of the Bow-barians!—Tyler Arcari.
The Bow-barians are attacking! This fun and
quirky title is the perfect descriptor of this
original work for string orchestra. Raucous and
fun-filled, each section has a turn playing the
strong melody. You will have a lot of fun with
this one!
11562033 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
11562118 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Autumn Vows—Susan H. Day. Written as a
surprise gift for a close friend's wedding, the
lush melodies, interesting harmonies and
moving inside lines create great emotional
content. The opportunities for expressive
playing abound in this highly emotional work
that is mature-sounding and beautiful. All
parts stay in first position, and the keys of
G and C, with few accidentals, make it very
approachable by inexperienced groups.

10095967 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Avatar—Doug Spata. Students and audiences
will be enthralled by the dark tone and
passionate style of Avatar (not related to the
movie). Fast, romantic melodies reminiscent
of video game themes pass through all the
sections, sweeping beneath fiery ostinatos.
Students will be inspired to get more out of their
instruments on this one as celli and basses get
down low under choppy violin passages set on
the violin's E-String. Exciting.

10015199 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 7.00
Beyond the Thunder—Deborah Baker
Monday. This exciting original work is
accessible for the youngest orchestras.
Rhythms are very interesting and easily taught.
It's a must for contest or festival.
10608529 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .48.00
10608541 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Blue Ridge Run—Alan Lee Silva. From
the opening tremolos in the high strings and
the punctuated bass notes in the low strings
to the integral piano theme, this refreshing
piece builds slowly, then sets off on a spirited
ride through the American countryside. This
rollicking work contains active rhythmic
interest and wonderfully flowing melodic
figures, completed by lush, open Americana
harmonies. A stunning concert selection!
10093770 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .50.00
10093771 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 8.50
Burn Brightly—Jay Coles. Part ominous and
part hopeful, this intense original work features
lots of driving syncopated eighth notes and
eighth-note rests along with staccato and
tenuto accents contrasted with slurs and
lyrical sections. It's the perfect tool to teach a
wide variety of musical concepts. Melodic and
engaging parts for all sections.
11566672 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00
11566696 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 8.00
Burst!—Brian Balmages. Brian Balmages'
energetic fanfare is brimming with bravado
and makes the most of your first-year students'
skills. Dynamic interplay with contrasting legato
and detache bowing create the "burst" of
energy by playing eighth-note passages off the
string. Also incorporates simple string crossing
and brief violin divisi.

By Hook or by Crook—Bradd Parton. Written
in E minor, this original work is a mature-
sounding selection that should come together
quickly for most ensembles. All students have
an opportunity to play the melody, and the
call-and-response writing between the upper
and lower strings will reinforce rest counting in
the contrasting B section. All parts also have
limited exposure to C-natural as well as a very
brief use of pizzicato.
