Galician Carol—arr. Joe Derhake.
Situated in the northwest corner of
modern Spain, Galicia is an autonomous
region and distinct nationality under
Spanish law. It was Celtic land for about
1000 years until it was incorporated into
the Roman Empire in 19 BC. This carol
reflects both the Celtic and Hispanic
heritage of the Galician people. While
the opening tune fairly resembles an
Irish jig, the key change to minor and
the accompaniment of castinets and
tambourine displays the distinct Hispanic
influence. Traditionally the tune is often
played on the Galician gaita, the generic
term for Spanish bagpipes, which has
drone and chanter pipes like its Irish
and Scottish cousins. This arrangement
includes a part for optional tambourine
and castanets which can be performed
by a single percussionist. Careful
consideration was taken in scoring
interesting parts for all players and
every instrument in the orchestra plays
significant sections of the melody.

The Gates of Janus—Richard Meyer.
Explore the duality of music with this
piece inspired by Janus, the Roman
god of opposites. Featuring contrasting
melodies - one slow and soft, the other
fast and loud - students will uncover six
musical opposites and enhance their
skills and expressive performance. Perfect
for sparking discussions on how music
conveys emotions. (3:20)

Glasconia—Todd Parrish. Follow this
musical adventure of ambition and
perseverance through tumultuous times
as it rises to the glorious triumph of
achieved success. The piece begins with
violin and cello, building in texture and
strength as instruments join in. Mixed meter
and staccato accompaniments depict
unexpected challenges, but a steadfast
theme endures and rises triumphantly.

Goblin Dance—Kevin Kaisershot. A playful
A-minor rondo for string orchestra in 6/8
time. The first violins are the stars of the
rondo theme, but the contrapuntal interest
of the accompanying lines keeps every
section on its rhythmic toes throughout.
The second violins, violas, and cellos
each get their own impish moments to
shine melodically. While not conceived
with any specific occasion in mind, this is
certainly appropriate for a fall or Halloween-
themed concert. At any time of year, its
tart, minor harmonies and mischievous
rhythms will bring variety and tang to any
string orchestra program, and it can easily
function nicely as a string quintet.

Grounder Breaker—Stephen Chin. The

arresting key of G minor, the strong themes,
and the incessant use of down-bows
suggest the driving force of these kinds of
groundbreakers.

Hadlie's Song—Kirt N. Mosier. Hadlie
is the composer's granddaughter, and
this piece was written to celebrate her
childlike beauty, rambunctious nature, and
her dreams that she loves to imagine. A
challenging and recommended piano part
is included, but not required. Lots of divisi
adds to an incredible richness and timbre.

Incantations—Richard Meyer. Two solo
violins and a solo viola introduce this piece
through a haunting, lyrical theme, which
is subsequently taken up by the entire
orchestra. It expands, gradually morphing
into a fast and frenetic second theme. The
two themes are then heard at the same
time, each vying for attention. The pace
slackens momentarily before a wild coda
closes the piece. Full of a wide variety of
colors and interesting tonalities, this work
gives every section of the mature string
orchestra a chance to shine.

Intermezzo (from "Cavalleria
rusticana")—Pietro Mascagni/arr.
Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Lyrical - delicate -
passionate - these words barely touch the
surface of this beautiful arrangement that
explores expressive playing with music well
within reach of younger ensembles while
also being an excellent choice for more
mature groups. An optional harp part adds
depth and detail. (2:30)
