Deep Sea Fandango—Deborah Baker
Monday. What's that? It sounds like "Jaws!"
Cellos will love getting the limelight for once!
This piece provides an excellent opportunity to
feature low strings, while giving all students a
fun part to play! A perfect training piece for F
naturals and simple 2-note slurs, this will be a
winner with students and audiences alike. An
optional piano part is included.

Easy Breezy—Mekel Rogers. With its slight
syncopations and catchy D major melodies,
this fun concert selection will engage your
students and audiences alike! Its steady but
leisurely tempo masterfully evokes a beautiful
day on a warm beach.
11572914 String Orchestra,
Percussion Required . . . . .55.00
El Gato Pizzicato—Richard Meyer.
Imaginations will run wild during this charming
Spanish salute to cats, as you set the mood
with glissando "meows", threatening "hisses,"
and an enthusiastic visit from a dog. A great
way to introduce shifting basics, high versus
low finger patterns, and tone painting. Even
finicky audience members will love this
delightful piece!
10370546 String Orchestra,
Percussion Required . . . . .46.00
Fiddles on Fire—Mark Williams. Rosin up
the bow, call out the Fire Department, and
let's go! This thrilling work is a modal display
of beginning virtuosity that takes full advantage
of that open fifth "fiddle sound." You'll have
parents do-si-do-ing in the aisles, and students
clamoring to play this one again and again!
Without a doubt this is a superb piece for
beginning players!
2346260 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .46.00
Galaxy Jam—Caryn Wiegand Neidhold.
Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star rocks in this clever
arrangement set in E minor. Drum set adds
a great flair, and open solo sections with
written suggested notes (D pentatonic scale)
will give daring students a chance to explore
improvisation. Rock on!
11392932 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00
Goblin Boogie—Jeff Frizzi. It's spooky,
bluesy fun for beginners with a catchy tune
that's terrific for most any first or second year
performance. Everybody gets to play the
E minor rock riff, and there's a good mix of
pizzicato and arco playing for all sections.
10343658 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .40.00
GPS—W.A. Mozart/arr. Richard Meyer.
Imagine a live, off-stage voice interjecting
driving directions during a performance
of Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Your
audience will love this fun and educational ride
as the orchestra follows directions to "turn right
onto Viola Avenue" or "merge together and play
in unison." As the trip progresses, the directions
get more and more outlandish with hilarious
results. Guaranteed to give everyone the ride
of their life!
10872112 String Orchestra
w/narrator . . . . . . . . . . . . . .49.00
Guest Soloist—Richard Meyer. Your audience
will get a real chuckle from this fun, interactive
piece that spotlights a volunteer from the
audience playing on a two-string violin (or any
instrument you choose to use). This delightful
original work requires absolutely no rehearsal
ahead of time with the soloist (honestly!) who
is cued in with taps on the shoulder. Everyone
will be amazed as a volunteer from the
audience, chosen on the spot, becomes the
next "virtuoso." A two-minute concerto that will
positively bring down the house!
10280312 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .50.00
Hey Fiddle Fiddle—Brian Balmages. Here's a
nice opener or encore! The upbeat nature of
the tune offers a few hints of Copland, but it
remains easy and is also very likeable. There's
even some stomps and hand claps to add to
the experience. Your students and audience
will enjoy this one. Lots of fun!
10008670 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .45.00
Ludwig's Dance Party—James Kazik. Who
says Beethoven can't be fun? Here's a clever
spin on Classical music's most famous four-
note motif, done up right in a current techno-
dance treatment.
10294275 String Orchestra,
Percussion Required . . . . .35.00
A Mission to Mars—Jeffrey Frizzi. A great
fast-paced and aggressive work for the string
ensemble presented in three sections full of
drama and intrigue. Driving rhythmic features
will keep your musicians engaged and ready to
play this one over and over.
11403522 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
Moonlight Tango—Richard Meyer. As the
title indicates, this charming piece beautifully
reinforces dotted rhythms and low-second
patterns. Its lively dance-like character will be
a popular addition to any concert occasion.
2301570 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .46.00
One Bow Concerto—Richard Meyer. Your
audience will laugh out loud! A violinist, a violist
and a cellist have soloist seats in front of the
orchestra, and they share just one bow, passing
it to one another just in the nick of time. The
orchestra is all pizzicato, so there really is only
one bow. "But a cellist shouldn't use a violin
bow," you think. Right, so they stop passing it
to him and the cellist shows what he thinks of
that! By the end the bow is in the hand of the
conductor. Recommended as a show-stopper!

Percentage of Error (The Prince of Denmark
March)—Jeremiah Clarke/arr. Bob Phillips.
This arrangement of The Prince of Denmark
March, or Trumpet Voluntary, provides the
perfect setting for advocacy and striving for
excellence since it is so recognizable. Three
different versions of the final eight bars,
containing incorrect notes, are included. Each
version contains an increasing percentage of
correct pitches. Each represents a different
letter grade. Play all four versions and then
explain to parents and administration that the
A+, 100 percent correct version is what we do
every day in orchestra. All sections play the
melody in this piece, providing a solid musical
setting in a novelty piece. (2:00)
11400584 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .50.00
Pumpkin Round—Cindy Hill. With its teaching
opportunities for staccatos, accidentals, and
pizzicato, this D minor piece is just spooky
enough for your fall concert but also substantial
as a contest work.
11572926 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .65.00
Rock Bottom Boogie—Robert Longfield.
Robert's new blues shuffle is a fun jazz
ensemble-style tune, that lets your string
orchestra perform something a little different.
Easy swing rhythms in a comfortable key and
tempo make it accessible for most groups. With
a little creativity, you might want to open up a
section for a young soloist to stretch out a bit.
10343653 String Orchestra,
Percussion Required . . . . .40.00
Rock Riffs—Soon Hee Newbold. Hot rock
original from Soon Hee Newbold! Exciting,
grooving intro gives way to powerful riffs and
updated phrasing. Fun for all your players.
Drums optional.
10277841 String Orchestra,
Percussion Optional . . . . . .45.00
Rondo Pizzicato—Mekel Rogers. Featuring
a main melodic idea that alternates with
contrasting episodes, this creative original work
is a complete seven-part rondo (ABACABA)
performed entirely without bows. Everyone
gets a chance to shine in this cute, clever, and
technically accessible work. A guaranteed hit
with students and audiences alike!
11573155 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
The Sharks of Seville—Traditional/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. Brimming with
intrigue and suspense, this exciting marriage
of themes from "The Barber of Seville" with
an iconic "shark in the water" motive will keep
everyone on the edge of their seats. All Seville
themes have been expertly adjusted for grade
1 students, and all recurring shark figures are
well-fingered and easy to teach.
10520049 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .52.00
Spring Breezes—arr. Richard Meyer. Try this
tender folk song from Taiwan to develop your
students' sensitive and lyric style. Accompanied
by lush, modern-sounding harmonies, the
melody is passed to each section. The solos
for violin and cello are at a medium-easy level
and are accompanied by a prominent harp or
piano part. Simply gorgeous!
2442762 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .48.00
TakaTiki—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Reinforce
simple sixteenth-note rhythms with this
infectious Latin-style piece. The title, of course,
is a play on the Kodaly counting system
for sixteenth notes. Teaching materials are
included to aid your students, but more than
anything this piece is just plain fun!
