62 Editors' Choice New Basic Library Available via ePrint Downloadable All Prices in U.S. Dollars & Subject To Publisher Revision Entry of the Tumblers—Elliot Del Borgo. An ideal piece for early string orchestra! Although it can be played by any student who has learned the D scale, this creative composition makes it sound much harder than it is. Thanks to some contrary motion, scalewise passages in harmony, even a small section in minor, your beginning orchestra will sound impressive. 2465748 String Orchestra . . . .B 53.00 First Finger Rock—Brian Balmages. Written with only quarter notes throughout, this is an ideal piece to introduce students either to the bow or to new strings. Complete with a bridge and short coda section, the piece includes an optional (and simple) drum set part. Real music using only open strings and first finger! 10748206 String Orchestra & Piano opt. Perc.. . . . . . . . . . . . . .B 50.00 Funfair Day!—Alexandre Carlin. A unique beginner-level orchestra work depicting the emotions of a young child during a wonderful day at the fair. With parts for tambourine, woodblock, triangle, claves, and more, this piece is a great opportunity for ensembles to include some auxiliary percussion players to add a whimsical and playful experience for all. 11686780 String Orchestra . . VE 55.00 HallowScream—Caryn Wiegand Neidhold. Let those blood-curdling screams loose! Students will love adding screams to this fun and engaging Halloween piece for budding string musicians. Besides screaming, students can create spooky sounds by playing behind the bridge with dynamic shifts, adding ghostly whispers and scary tremolos, all accompanied by an egg shaker. Warning: Earplugs may be necessary! 11691545E String Orchestra . . . .B 55.00 Jazz for the Open Strings—Jiyoung Um. A great piece for beginning orchestras, both fun and educational. Using only the open strings and simple two repeating eighth-note patterns, beginning players will get an introduction to jazz while learning ensemble playing and counting. Players and audiences will particularly enjoy the middle section where the low strings play pizzicato on an open string jazz bass line while the high strings snap their fingers. A written piano part fills out the harmonies and adds some jazzy fillers. 11393501 String Orchestra . . . .B 45.00 M e c h a n i c a l M o n s t e r s — R a n d a l l Standridge. Shambling creatures made of metal come to life in this eerie offering for beginning orchestra. This energetic piece utilizes only the first six notes of the D major scale while also carefully introducing F natural, teaching students there is a world beyond high two. Playful interplay of eighth notes, metallic percussion, and moments for the players to hiss and knock rhythms on their instruments combine to great effect in this work that is sure to grab your players' attention. 11521158 String Orchestra . . VE 50.00 Monster Mashed Potatoes—Tim Thompson. A playful rock groove shapes this beginning string orchestra work with piano and drum set, echoing the light, catchy feel of 1960s novelty hits. Repeated eighth-note patterns and straightforward bowings reinforce foundational rhythms while keeping the style energetic. A fun concert option, especially for a Halloween program, it builds rhythmic confidence while keeping students and audiences smiling and tapping their toes. 11680902 String Orchestra . . . .B 55.00 The Abandoned Funhouse— Brian Balmages. 10592171 String Orchestra- Keyboard Required .......B 50.00 Apparition— Mikayla Bauer/arr.
