Spiders!—Christopher Alan Schmitz.
Spiders have taken over the house! Tiptoe
across the floor (pizzicato) so that you don't
disturb the skittering spiders (collegno). But

for your fall concert. (2:30)

Stonework—Ted Allen. In the Middle
Ages, master stonemasons built immense,
light-filled cathedrals with vast, reverberant
interiors. These awe-inspiring churches
stood in stark contrast to the hard labor,
hunger, and disease that marked daily life.
This piece evokes both the adversity and
the spiritual transcendence of medieval life,
using musical material borrowed from the
12th century along with heavy metal rock.

Sunrise (Music for a Celebration of
Life)—Castonguay, Ron. "Sunrise" is a
truly accessible work for string orchestra
and piano, and is perfect for celebration
of life ceremonies, memorial services,
end of year events, and any concert that
needs an introspective work to add to its
programming. "Sunrise" is a programmatic
work intended to depict the beauty and
power of a sunrise, specifically in the spring.
This music was composed in loving memory
of Noah Ram 23, a high school musician
that tragically lost his life in a car accident
just before the start of his senior year. Noah
was an avid multi-instrumentalist, whose
principal instruments were the piano,
guitar, trumpet and contrabass. It is my
hope that this music honors the memory
of Noah. The metaphors and symbolism
inherent in a sunrise afford the performers
and listeners of this music the ability to
interpret the melodies and harmonies on a
personal level. May this music lift the spirits
of all those that have lost a loved one far too
soon, and bring feelings of hopefulness and
gratefulness with each new sunrise.

Sunrise Dreams—Joshua V. Hinkel.
Capture the beauty and peace of a majestic
sunrise - the crash of waves, wild grasses in
the wind, birds and animals beginning their
day. A sunrise is a metaphor of dreams and
ambitions that can set one's life on a new
path of hope, grace, peace, and tranquility.
This day is new, our slate is clean, and
anything is possible when we close our
eyes and dream.

modal melodies and changing meter
signatures, this also gives every section
a chance in the spotlight. Teaching
opportunities abound as your students
explore low finger patterns (Bb and F
naturals), dynamic contrast, accents,
syncopation, balance, and rhythmic
independence. An excellent choice!

Empire in this sweeping epic for string
