A dramatic work with a hint of romance,
Conquistador! depicts the life and
adventures of the Spanish explorers.

the stars. It's a great way to bring history
into the music rehearsal!

Courage—Ash Madni. This simple piece
attempts to take the audience and the
players to a time forgotten, when human
values such as chivalry and courage were
an integral part of the lives of those who
came before us. People weren't afraid to
speak out for fear of retaliation and that
took courage. This piece commemorates
that courage.

Creatures—Brian Balmages. It's great for
year-round use, but would be especially
scary at Halloween. The composer
describes it as "a dark and sinister night
full of strange happenings and ghoulish
encounters." Opening with a menacing
march as creatures emerge from the
darkness, dissonances soon appear in
upper strings, including the chance to
play any pitch in the chaos! Finally the
audience hears footsteps in retreat from
the coming dawn.

Richard Meyer. The sequel to the popular
Rosin Eating Zombies From Outer
Space! Students and directors will enjoy

Pizzicato, tremolo, trills, munching noises,
and zombie-talk are sure to be a scarily
funny hit!

Francis-Ma. Based on the theme of a Yao
folk dance, the melody flows seamlessly
between the different sections. The tremolo

dancing under the soft glow of moonlight.
The pizzicato in the lower strings enhances
the rhythmic feel of the dance, adding depth
and energy to the overall composition.

Danse Infernale—Elliot Del Borgo. Starting
off as a driving modal work, the "Infernal

middle section, giving your strings a chance
to show their flexibility. Del Borgo uses
string sonorities such as harmonics, mutes,
basic third position, and more to get the
most out of your orchestra.

South America. All sections get to play both
the melody and the driving accompaniment
rhythms.

Dark Journey—Doug Spata. Students will
love the contemporary style as they explore
a variety of articulations, dotted rhythms,
and offbeat eighth notes. Every section gets
a turn at playing the melody, with special
interest in the bass section expanding
the range in several positions. Energetic
staccato accompaniments push the bold E
minor theme to a triumphant conclusion.

Every Time I Feel the Spirit—arr.
Pasquale Tassone. Dating prior to the
Civil War, Every Time I Feel the Spirit is
one of the most beloved spirituals. Like

The Evil Eye and the Hideous Heart—
Alan Lee Silva. Based on the classic
Edgar Allan Poe short story "The Tell-Tale
Heart," this work is reminiscent of a classic
Hollywood horror movie theme. The piano
and optional harp and percussion parts
punctuate the tension and suspense that
is felt from the first note to the last. The
basses act as the low, ominous threat of
danger, and the upper voices represent
the insanity of the main character's twisted
plan. A real thriller!

Fantasia on a Theme from Thailand—
Richard Meyer. This captivating work is a
set of variations on the Pong Lang Dance,
one of Thailand's most popular melodies.
The pong lang is like a xylophone with
its wooden keys suspended vertically on
ropes, with the low notes on the upper
end and the high notes at the bottom. The
melody uses the pentatonic scale and
is very simple in nature. The variations
expand on fragments of the original tune
in a variety of tempi and styles that make
each new change thrilling! After this
exploration, the original melody returns,
gradually gaining speed and energy as one
would hear in a traditional performance of
this dance.
