Second to None—Kevin Sluder. The second
violins take center stage in this lively piece set in
6/8 meter. Usually in a supporting role, they now
lead the way through a playful musical journey,
with the rest of the orchestra providing a rich and
colorful backdrop.

Starlight Tango—Meagan Thorup. Inspired
by Latin American music, this dramatic work
brings the energy and allure of tango to the
string orchestra. The score incorporates special
performance effects including tambor, chicharra,
and latigo, giving players an authentic taste of the
style's fiery rhythms and textures. Each section

the fierce energy of a falcon in flight. Driving
rhythms, sharp contrasts, and sweeping
melodies create a dramatic soundscape that

control. With bold textures and a shifting pulse,

Waltz of the Wicked—Kirt N. Mosier. This wild
piece calls for violins and violas to use a one-finger
glissando, creating a very eerie effect. Cellos will
get to strum three-note chords with their thumb
while canonic passages make your group work
together as never before. Wicked!

Fiddle Frenzy—Tyler Arcari. Inspired by the toe-
tapping, frenzied accelerando that only comes
from the unabated joy of playing music in front of
a live audience, "Fiddle Frenzy" is an original take
on a classical vibe! Composer Tyler Arcari wants
your audience to get up and slap their knees!

Final Voyage—Kathryn Griesinger. Set sail on a
grand adventure, beginning with a noble opening
theme. Like the fresh dawn, a motif in D major
rises, signaling a hopeful start to a new day. A
sudden tempo change introduces new rhythmic
activity, featuring busy doubled eighth notes and
double stops as the journey picks up momentum.
The travelers take a turn to A major, continuing
to develop the motif before the music drifts slowly
into a mysterious channel in parallel A minor. The
mists of uncertainty are only brief, however, as the
music builds in power, like the bright sun breaking
through. As the horizon is clearly seen once again,
the original theme returns, broad and majestic, to
carry the adventurers to a glorious finale. (3:25)

Flight of the Ice Dragon—Kirt Mosier. Follow
the odyssey of the mythical ice dragon's flight
over frozen tundra in this exciting piece, soaring
over mountain peaks and resting in snow-covered
valleys. The beauty of the ice dragon's flight is
captured in this musical landscape. Challenging,
but well worth the effort! (3:55)

Ghosts of Bohemia (Dance for String
Orchestra)—Joshua Reznicow. Intense, wild,
and energetic – all sections are offered a lot of
action, musical energy, and technical challenges.
Performers and audiences will surely enjoy the
rapid-fire sixteenth-note passages contrasting
with the larger sweeping phrases, and the string
effects such as strum/gitara pizz, trills, glissandos,
and double-stops that all help to shape the colors
and characters of this adventurous piece.

Human Enigma—Ash Madni. This is a piece that
has seen several iterations, originally composed
for the Trance genre, then modified for string
quartet and finally string orchestra. I was inspired
by how human beings solve complex problems.
Multiple thought processes occur at the same
time, all independent, or sparked off each other.
The individual may dwell on these patterns for a
while until finally, a single voice emerges. This is
the decision or the solution to the problem we seek.
Human beings are amazing and will never cease to
amaze me. In short, the human being is an enigma.

The Iliad (Fall of Troy)—Soon Hee Newbold.
This prequel and companion work to Soon Hee
Newbold's The Odyssey is a powerful, cinematic
work. The Iliad takes players through the battle
scenes of the Trojan War and the story of the
legendary Achilles. Harp and/or piano add another
layer to this epic tone poem. Riveting!

Sleep—Eric Whitacre. A brand-new orchestration
of Eric Whitacre's popular composition for concert
band, this arrangement for string orchestra is a
lush and achingly beautiful work. This haunting
chorale begins softly and slowly, then blossoms to
a powerful climax. For a breathtaking experience,
add the optional SATB chorus with original text by
celebrated American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri.
11523045 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . MA 85.00
Song of Love and Loss—Rob Wiffin. Mysterious,
poignant, and beautiful. A well crafted exercise in
expression and a great addition to any concert
program.
11634592 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . MA 65.00
Subterranean Dialogues—Richard Meyer.
Subterranean Dialogues, by Richard Meyer, is an
edgy-sounding selection that is the perfect piece
to feature your advanced string bass section while
keeping all the players in your orchestra on their toes.
The music unfolds as a series of dialogues, each a
duet between the basses and a different section of
the orchestra—-violas, second violins, celli, and first
violins. The wide variety of time signatures, shifting
modes, and unusual orchestrations will challenge all
of your musicians and delight your audience while
putting the unsung heroes of your ensemble in a
well-deserved spotlight.
