TakaTiki—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Reinforce
simple sixteenth-note rhythms with this
infectious Latin-style piece. The title, of
course, is a play on the Kodaly counting
system for sixteenth notes. Teaching
materials are included to aid your students,
but more than anything this piece is just
plain fun!

Ashokan Farewell (from "The Civil
War")—Jay Ungar/arr. Calvin Custer.
The simple, memorable theme from the
acclaimed PBS series makes excellent
concert fare. Calvin Custer's realistic
treatment includes the easy violin solo,
piano and percussion. This is technically
quite easy, but very emotional.

Barefoot Boogie—Lorrie Baum. Barefoot
Boogie is a lively piece written in the boogie-
woogie style that developed originally for
piano in African American communities
around the 1870s and progressed through
larger ensembles over time. The genre
sprang out of the blues primarily as
dance music. Barefoot Boogie offers a fun
challenge with a first exposure to playing
in an early jazz style. Walking bass lines
throughout will delight and challenge the
bass players, and all instruments have
their turns at the melody and opportunities
for solos.Note to DirectorsBarefoot boogie
should be played with a swing rhythm
throughout. The solo section between
measures 49 and 72 can be repeated for
ad lib solos for any students (or directors)
brave enough to give it a go.

Blazing Bows of the West!—arr. Michael
Story. Three gallant tunes are intertwined
to create this rollicking medley of Western
movie themes that will be a favorite at your
next concert. Including The Magnificent
Seven; How the West Was Won (Main Title)
and Blazing Saddles, this solidly scored
arrangement will bring a bit of the old West
into your concert program. Giddyup!
10310462 String Orchestra . . . . . 64.00
Blue-Fire Fiddler—Soon Hee Newbold.
This kickin' fiddle tune is energetic, exciting
and fun. The fast and furious fiddling sounds
much harder than it really is. Riffs, finger
patterns and bowings are very idiomatic
and lend themselves to fast playing. This is
sure to be the hit of the concert!
2474322 String Orchestra . . . . . 75.00
Blue Rhythmico—Kirt N. Mosier. Like
the title implies, there's a powerful rhythm
and some jazzy blue notes, nothing subtle
here! This original uses guitar-like riffs and
a driving ostinato bass line in the low strings
to build up to a powerful sound.
2481200 String Orchestra . . . . . 60.00
Bumps in the Night—Bud Woodruff. Ever
wonder what those noises are at night when
you're in the dark? This spooky piece uses
minor-scale motifs and pizzicato effects to
get your imagination going. Perfect for a fall
or Halloween performance.
11392962 String Orchestra . . . . . 60.00
Chicken Foot Transplant—Matt Turner.
Put on your dancin' shoes! This entertaining
and infectious Bo Diddley groove offers a
smorgasbord of blues, country fiddling,
and funk, with added flair from a drumset.

improvised or played as written.

Curse of the Rosin Eating Zombies—
Richard Meyer. The sequel to the popular
Rosin Eating Zombies From Outer Space!
Students and directors will enjoy giving
blood curdling screams, knocking on
instruments, and bowing behind the bridge
for that iconic "psycho sound." Pizzicato,
tremolo, trills, munching noises, and
zombie-talk are sure to be a scarily funny
hit!
2472802 String Orchestra . . . . . 56.00
Dance of the Shadows—Susan Day. This
dark and shadowy waltz elegantly weaves a
spell in D minor, dancing through a twisted
web of accidentals as it shifts and changes
to E minor. Players get to work on extended
and low-one finger patterns, slurs, and even
momentary syncopation as the haunted
melody floats from section to section,
drifting and descending chromatically, only
to vanish into thin air.
11559083 String Orchestra . . . . . 60.00
Double Trouble—Lauren Bernofsky.
Here's a punchy teaching tune to make the
key of D come to life! All the voices have
fun with the edgy and rhythmic eighth note
"double trouble" motif. Emphasis on accents
and tight ensemble playing will make this a
class favorite!
10091950 String Orchestra . . . . . 50.00
Ear-igami—Richard Meyer. Ear-igami is
a fascinating musical tribute to the ancient
Japanese art of paper folding. Instead of
a bow, each performer uses a piece of
paper to make sounds and to "play" their
instrument. Your audience will be entranced
as they watch and hear the variety of effects
possible in this charming set of pentatonic
variations. A unique concert selection!

Folk Tune and Fiddle Dance—Percy
Fletcher. A long-time favorite for festival and
contest, Percy Fletcher's two-movement
suite has been a choice teaching piece for
school orchestras. In true English folk style,
the first movement has multiple sections in
varying styles and meters, and the second
movement is rhythmic, energetic fiddle
writing at its best.
4964359 String Orchestra . . . . . 70.00
Fright Night—arr. Larry Moore. Here
are all your favorite "scare tactic" tunes,
assembled in clever fashion in a quick-fire

Phillips. Here's a great recruitment piece!

famous classical themes, including William
Tell, Eine Kliene Nachtmusik, Trepak
from "The Nutcracker." Demonstrating

with recognizable themes from The Pink
Panther, The Flintstones; and Walking Bass
Lines. Then everyone plays together for a
medley of movie themes: Star Wars, Lord
of the Rings; Harry Potter and more!

exciting work allows all parts to enjoy the

shared by all. Written as a sequel to the
ever-popular Blue Rhythmico.

Jingle Bells Gone Wrong (A Shocking
Set of Variations for String Orchestra)—
arr. Mark Barnard. A fresh, creative, fun,
educational, and entertaining opportunity to
explore this seasonal favorite set in minor
mode and five highly stylized variations.
The result: holiday fun for both students and
audience! Students have the opportunity to
reinforce low first finger and high third finger
as well as simple syncopation and 6/8 time.
Sleigh bells and optional drum set add to
the performance experience.
11355587 String Orchestra . . . . . 60.00
Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Beware the
Headless Horseman)—Dennis Eveland.
Wonderfully spooky! It's the haunting tale of
the headless horseman. It starts very slow
and dark, depicting the ominous night and
the deep forest, before taking off to a gallop
as the horseman gives chase. The ratchet
and the woodblocks add the essential
creepy sounds that students and audiences
will love. The cello and bass sections get
to enjoy a moment of In the Hall of the
Mountain King. Don't be frightened, this
piece is an excellent choice for your next
concert!

A Musical Passport—arr. Richard Meyer.
Take a trip around the world! Using 22 of
the most famous melodies ever written from
17 different countries, this is the ultimate
multicultural experience. The melodies
travel from section to section, and the
quickly changing styles will keep everyone
on their toes.

Orange Jam—Jeffrey S. Bishop. Give your
students a shot at this exciting work that
lets them imitate rock guitar sounds. This
is a straightforward rock piece that is both
energetic and fun to play! The G minor/
modal tonality really lets the open strings
ring out. Your orchestra will love jamming
to this piece at any time of the year. The
final words of the composer's notes say it
all: "Have Fun!"
10030756 String Orchestra . . . . . 65.00
Red Pepper—Jeffrey S. Bishop. Based on
traditional Zydeco music and Cajun fiddling
style, this clever arrangement passes
tunes playfully from one section to another,
sometimes over a pizzicato walking bass
line. This top-seller is full of energy and fun!
10048339 String Orchestra . . . . . 60.00
Remote Control—Richard Meyer. What
if you could control a live orchestra with
a remote control? With the sound of a
bell, the orchestra switches from piece to
piece in mid-phrase. Listen as Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik changes to Beethoven's
Seventh to Stars and Stripes Forever and
back again! Your audience will love it as
they surf from channel to channel, ranging
from opera to sci-fi. This remote even has
a pause button that freezes the orchestra,
and a mute button that haves them playing
without sound. Great fun for everyone!
10050407 String Orchestra . . . . . 49.00
Rosin Eating Zombies from Outer
Space—Richard Meyer. Don't miss this! If
there is one piece your developing orchestra
will love rehearsing and performing, it's this
one! This programmatic piece spins a tale
of mayhem and mischief as the rosin eating
zombies take over your stage complete
with blood-curdling screams, glissandos,
ponticello and more. All the eerie effects
are clearly explained and notated, so the
only trouble you'll have is getting your
students to stop playing it. It's a wild ride
you won't want to miss!
