The 101—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Imagine
cruising down Highway 101 in Southern
California, the convertible top down, wind
in your hair, radio set to your favorite rock
station - this is the vibe of The 101. Carefully
crafted using only first finger and open
strings, it will make your young orchestra
sound like rock stars! Piano accompaniment
and optional drum set bring this piece to the
next level while your students focus on the
building blocks of music literacy.

Aeolian Rock—Jeffrey Frizzi. This fun-
loving original is guaranteed to motivate
beginning string players by highlighting the
strengths of every section. Unison cellos
and basses start off with an 8-bar groove
in A minor before upper strings come in
with a cool melody. Then violas assume the
melodic lead in the middle section of the
piece before a strong tutti finish.

Ancient Crossroads—Caryn Wiegand
Neidhold. As you might imagine from the
title, this piece is a bit dark and foreboding.
It hovers around E minor but also has some
more lyrical passages that add excellent
contrast to the more rhythmic sections.

Anna's Star—Aaron Perrine. Based on the
familiar melody of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little
Star, this beautiful, lyrical work for string
orchestra provides a variety of opportunities
to develop consistent bow pressure with
the right hand as well as a good bit of
part independence. Lush orchestration
and a wide range of dynamics add to the
composition's expressive potential!

Antz—Carol Brittin Chambers. The ants are
marching one by one in this cool work for
young string players. Each section has an
opportunity to shine, and with plenty of solid
writing to teach from, "Antz" will be a hit both
in and out of the classroom!

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 rustic images of the American
outdoors. The writing makes even smaller
groups sound full. This is an ideal choice
for your next concert.

Atoms!—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. This
ethereal and driving work captures the
essence of the tiny marvels that make
up our universe. This piece for multilevel
string orchestra celebrates how atoms,
though small and invisible, create endless
possibilities when combined. The B part
(Grade 2.5) can be treated as a stand-
alone piece or can be enriched with parts
for various skill levels, including an adapted
open string part for students with disabilities.

Bear on the Square—Perry Holbrook.
Perry Holbrook brings us a slightly comical,
yet worrisome scenario...there is literally a
bear on the town square! A musical nod to

Beyond the Waterfall—Katie O'Hara
LaBrie. Discover the magic Beyond the
Waterfall, a captivating piece for beginning
string orchestra (Grade ) and piano with an
optional Grade 3 violin solo. Lush string
harmonies create a flowing, dreamlike
atmosphere, while twinkling piano lines
reflect shimmering droplets of the water.
The optional soaring solo line adds a touch
of expressive beauty. This piece is equally
an enchanting choice for young orchestras
developing musicality or a great backdrop
for more mature students beginning to
explore vibrato.

Black Bear Ballet—Kevin Sluder. Warning!
Dancing black bears frequent this area!
Written as a note-reading reinforcement
of the low octave of the G major scale, this
is a great chance to teach your students
about the A Dorian mode. It's an excellent
introduction to section independence
for your ensemble, though the rhythms
are usually still doubled by at least one
other section. Students will demonstrate
their knowledge of whole, half, quarter,
and eighth notes throughout the piece.
Your students will become much more
comfortable with dynamic changes and will
have many phrasing opportunities. Use the
lower G major scale register to discuss bow
weight/tone and how the approach to the
bow will change with changing dynamics.

Bow Hunters—Deborah Baker Monday.
Take your young musicians are on a quest
to play in the best part the bow! Whether

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!
