shapes this medium string orchestra work
drawn from a traditional Scottish melody
associated with Robert Burns' poem
Ae Fond Kiss. Expressive lines pass
throughout the ensemble, encouraging
careful blend and shared musical
responsibility. The warm, flowing character
invites sustained attention to bow control
and ensemble sound. A strong high school
selection for developing expression while
exploring a Celtic melodic voice.

Country Czardas—Matt Spieker. Written
in the style of a Hungarian folk dance,
this string orchestra setting follows the
traditional czardas form with a slow,
expressive lassu giving way to a fiery, fast
friss. The contrast between the two sections
highlights both lyrical warmth and rhythmic
momentum, blending introspection with
vibrant dance energy. The clear binary
structure makes the shift in character
especially satisfying, creating a lively folk-
inspired work that balances expression and
drive.

Czeched Bags Polka—Kevin Kaisershot.
Lively dance energy defines this polka for
strings rooted in German-Czech tradition.
Two voices at a time carry the tune while the
rest of the ensemble drives crisp downbeats
and off-beats, sharpening articulation
and rhythmic precision. All sections of the
orchestra will get a chance to perform both
the melody and accompaniment figures.
A mid-piece key change refreshes the
material and sustains the momentum. A
continuation of the composer's "Czech"
series including Rain Czech Polka; Blank
Czech Polka and more, it's a bright, fun
concert choice for high school groups ready
to demonstrate clean technique and stylish
ensemble bounce.

A Day in Mykonos—David Bobrowitz.
Inspired by the Greek island's nightlife,
this compact concert work for strings
channels Mediterranean dance through
driving rhythms and modal color. Set in D
minor, patterned figures and gradual tempo
acceleration build infectious momentum
from start to finish. Catchy melodies
and toe-tapping energy give the music
immediate appeal, making it an effective
opener or closer that delivers atmosphere,
motion, and regional character.

Fantasia Española—Soon Hee
Newbold. Soon Hee Newbold explores
the world of Spanish music with fiery
results! Syncopated rhythms propel the
passionate melodies which pass from
one section to another, while pizzicato
and col legno bowing create castanet
accompaniments. There's even a
strumming, guitar-like pizzicato effect
in both first and second violins. A tango
interlude leads to a furious finish. A show-
stopper!

Fiddler's Fortune—arr. Bob Phillips &
Renata Bratt. Your string orchestra is

rhythms along with shifting mean plenty
of educational opportunities. Sure to be a
favorite of players and audience!

Flowers and Youth (Chinese Folk
Song)—arr. Albert Wang. A haunting rubato
introduction sets the mood as a solo violin
line floats over tremolo accompaniment
before the music snaps into a lively 2/2
dance that showcases the character of
this Chinese folk song. A contrasting 3/4
middle section brings a more flowing feel
with pizzicato in the lower strings and a
lyrical line above it. Every section remains
actively engaged, making the piece a strong
introduction to this unique folk style.

Irish Legend—Robert Kerr & Soon Hee
Newbold. Showcase your strings with fire
and flair in the style of Riverdance and
traditional Celtic music! Written by Robert
Kerr and arranged for strings by Soon Hee
Newbold, this air and jig is a dramatic finale
to any concert. Dazzling violin solos (both
lyrical and technical) and highly rhythmic
passages accompanied by drum set really
set this work apart. Optional piano and harp
add to the sound of a work destined to bring
down the house. A great closer!

middle theme capture the vibrant joy of the
original work.

Lamps of Deepavali—Manjula
Ramachandran & Cooper Ford.

holidays in South Indian culture, the fall
festival celebrating light over darkness
also known as Diwali, its North Indian
counterpart, this piece is written in
Sindhubhairavi, a raaga common in both
the Carnatic and Hindustani (Bhairavi)
musical traditions of India. The notes of this

culture.

Maharaja—Doug Spata. Add some sizzle
to your next concert with some Bollywood
style! Maharaja combines rhythms and
motifs from Indian music with exciting
melodies. Slurred pizzicato imitates the
sound of tabla drums while finger snaps
and triplet flourishes add to the South Asian
flavor. Teachers will appreciate challenging
their students with advanced fingerings
and rhythms throughout the piece and
audiences will thrill to this unique musical
experience.

Malaguena (from "Andalucia Suite")—
Ernesto Lecuona/arr. Douglas E. Wagner.
The piano suite "Andalucia" (sometimes
referred to as Suite Española) is by far
Ernesto Lecuona's most performed and
remembered work, especially the last of its
six movements, Malagueña, scored here
for string orchestra. The suite celebrates
Andalusia, the southernmost region of
mainland Spain, and, more notably, the
vibrant culture of those who live there. This
arrangement captures all of the passion of
the original and will be perfect for concert or
contest. (3:15)

Milonga del Angel—Astor Piazzolla/
arr. Jim Palmer. This lyrical arrangement
of an Argentinian tango is a wonderful
introduction to the music of Astor Piazzolla.
The melody is first introduced by the violas
and then passed smoothly to the first violins.
Along with beautiful harmonies, interesting
rhythms, and the variety of dynamics, the
piece includes many opportunities to teach
shifting, glissando, balance, and phrasing.
A perfect choice for festival or any concert
performance.
