Five Note Fiddler—Brian Balmages. Based
entirely on just the first five notes of the D major
scale, this is an ideal way to reinforce the D
tetrachord while having a ton of fun in a fiddle-
inspired setting. The melody playfully weaves
throughout the ensemble as the music unfolds.
Surprisingly sophisticated in sound, yet very
approachable! (1:15)

Impulse—Brian Balmages. For the very youngest
musicians, this highly energetic piece does not
use eighth notes, is based on a one-octave D
Major scale, and uses mostly stepwise motion
throughout. Despite these features, the music is
powerful and aggressive.

only quarter notes and half notes in modes of
D major, this composition evokes the feeling of
a mysterious march through the darkness that
students will enjoy playing and parents will enjoy
hearing! With easy bowings, limited range, and a
viola part that doubles second violin, this work will
make a first-year orchestra sound marvelous at
their first concert of the year!

Polar Vortex—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Cold air spins
and an arctic chill sets in: a polar vortex has arrived.
This work for multilevel orchestra encapsulates
this wintery weather phenomenon through its
driving D dorian tune, biting spiccato, and swirling
motives. Perform the A parts (Grade 3) on their
own, or add in multiple levels to include even your
youngest beginners.

Appalachian Hymn—Soon Hee Newbold. This
lyrical work was inspired by the traditional folk tunes
and hymns of the Appalachians. Using mostly a
simple pentatonic scale, the warm melody evokes

writing makes even smaller groups sound full. This
is an ideal choice for your next concert.

Bow Hunters—Deborah Baker Monday. Take

the best part the bow! Whether slurring easy
quarter notes, sustaining half and whole notes,
or digging into the exciting eighth-note melody,
players will get to effectively use every inch of
bow hair from the frog to the tip. The E minor
melody gets passed around the orchestra,
with opportunities to practice C-natural finger
patterns in every part. A winner for building bow
skills - and fun to play as well!

Exhilaration—Cooper Ford. Many special
experiences are joyful or thrilling, such as flying
for the first time, a big sports moment, or the
excitement of a first concert. Young musicians
should find this both easily accessible and fun
to play. Melodies are passed around to different
sections while reinforcing foundational rhythms,
notes within the D major scale, and playing with
a big sound. Written with the young orchestra in
mind, second violin and viola parts are doubled as
are cello and string bass. (1:40)
