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!

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 . . ME 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 . . ME 60.00
Bow Tie Swing—Erica Donahoe. Break
out the bow ties for this jazzy feature
that uses long bows to play tied rhythms!
Developing string players will get to
practice swinging eighth-note rhythms over
a pizzicato walking bass line as the lilting
melody is passed from section to section.
Dress to the nines for this big, swing-band
sound, with optional drum set for extra
pizzazz.
11668594 String Orchestra . . ME 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.
There's even a solo section, which may be
improvised or played as written.

Chill Power—Dylan Fixmer. This eclectic
work for string orchestra with optional piano,
drum set, and claves is perfect for directors
who want students to explore improvisation
in a Latin style through a fun piece
idiomatically written for strings. The piece
uses the 2-3 son clave and Aeolian modal
harmonies as the foundation for a catchy
tune and chords to solo over. The piece
provides written sample solos for each
instrument as well as improvisation guides
to get your students soloing confidently.
11686778 String Orchestra . . ME 80.00
Clash of the Smart Phones—David
Rimelis. A fast, quirky musical conversation
unfolds as imagined cell phones ring,
answer, interrupt, and overlap across the
orchestra. Rapid-fire staccato exchanges
and high-energy dialogue between upper
and lower strings fuel the chaos, contrasted
by a more plaintive legato middle that
briefly slows the pace. The tension quickly
snaps back for a breathless finale, ending
with both sides "hanging up" together. A
rhythmic, dynamic study in E minor that
turns everyday technology into nonstop
musical motion.
11684459 String Orchestra . . ME 40.00
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 . . ME 56.00
Dance of the Garden Gnomes—Patrick
Roszell. A light and quirky dance full of
energy for Grade 2.5 string orchestra and
percussion, the tune uses playful melodies
over repeated staccato eighth notes, with
violins carrying much of the thematic
material. A smoother legato middle
provides contrast before the exciting
motion returns. A strong middle or high
school option for reinforcing bow and finger
clarity while keeping students engaged with
the light character.
11680890 String Orchestra . . ME 65.00
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 . . ME 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 . . ME 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!

Fright Night—arr. Larry Moore. Here
are all your favorite "scare tactic" tunes,
assembled in clever fashion in a quick-fire
medley with as many as can fit into two
minutes or less. Includes: Jaws; Night
on Bald Mountain; Funeral March of the
Marionettes; Psycho; The Addams Family;
The Munsters; The Sorcerer's Apprentice;
Toccata and Fugue; The Phantom of the
Opera and more.
10033650 String Orchestra . . ME 55.00
Jazz Rhythmico—Kirt N. Mosier. This
exciting work allows all parts to enjoy the
driving force of a rhythmico ostinato. The
catchy melodic content of this piece is
shared by all. Written as a sequel to the
ever-popular Blue Rhythmico.
10500802 String Orchestra . . ME 60.00
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.
11202626 String Orchestra . . ME 50.00
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 . . ME 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 . . ME 60.00
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!
2442739 String Orchestra . . ME 56.00
The Sneaky Pumpkin—Rebecca
Tompkins. A fun little piece that will bring
humor to your fall concert. Creative use
of dynamics and articulation makes this
a great teaching tool that will keep your
students engaged while having fun!
11637913 String Orchestra . . ME 65.00
Tico Tico—Zequinha de Abreu/arr.
Lipton. Perhaps the most famous
example of Brazilian Choro music, this
piece is made accessible to high school
players in this sterling arrangement
featuring a whistle and a section that uses
strings as percussion instruments. Highly
recommended!
