CoffeeAlmon C. Bock II. Turn your string
orchestra into an old-time percolator with this
humorous little cha-cha that recalls all the happy
sounds of the family coffee maker. With musical
squeaks, blurbles, slurps and wheezes, this will
put a smile on every coffee lover in the audience!
Peasant as the smell of your favorite java, the piece
will leave you tapping your feet and swaying a bit at
the Latin beat. A musical and culinary treat!

ConquistadorDeborah Baker Monday.
A dramatic work with a hint of romance,
Conquistador! depicts the life and adventures
of the Spanish explorers. Rhythmic motives in A
minor provide a glimpse into life on the trail, and
the softer, lyrical section depicts a quiet night under
the stars. It's a great way to bring history into the
music rehearsal!

n Contrasts in E MinorFrancis Feese. This unique
and interesting work is divided into three sections.
It begins with a catchy, "spy-sounding" opening
theme, which is contrasted with an emotional
slower section, and ends with an exciting 6/8 time
signature galop that features the lower strings. It
is standard string orchestra literature that comes
highly recommended for intermediate level groups.

n CreaturesBrian Balmages. This is one of the
coolest original pieces to come around in years! It's
great for year-round use, but would be especially
scary at Halloween. The composer describes
it as "a dark and sinister night full of strange
happenings and ghoulish encounters." Opening
with a menacing march as creatures emerge from
the darkness, dissonances soon appear in upper
strings, including the chance to play any pitch in
the chaos! Finally the audience hears footsteps in
retreat from the coming dawn. A wonderful vehicle
for introducing aleatoric music to students in a fun
and creative way!

CrusadeVince Gassi. This exciting original
work, for strings and percussion, opens with an
ominous theme. It continues to build throughout,
culminating in a powerful, climactic ending. Set
in Dorian mode, this piece overflows with vibrant
and dramatic energy, conjuring images of strength,
majesty, and passion.

Curse of the Rosin Eating ZombiesRichard
Meyer. It had to happen! Richard Meyer's wildly
successful Rosin Eating Zombies From Outer
Space created an insatiable hunger for more of the
same! It seems that string players (and directors)
love to get a chance to: Give blood curdling
screams; knock on their instruments, bow behind
the bridge for that "psycho sound"; use pizzicato,
tremolo, trills, make munching noises and talk like
zombies! Detailed directions are given for the faint
of heart. Keep string playing fun; choose this highly
recommended winner!

l CycloneDaniel Baldwin. This work was
inspired by the painting "Twisted Ironies", a
beautiful portrayal of a tornado, which was given
to the composer as a gift by the artist. The piece
alternates dramatic lyricism with driving string and
percussion statements.

Dark AdventureRalph Ford. It's ghostly! It's
creepy! Your orchestra will love it! From the driving
opening motives to the quirky gypsy-sounding
theme, this is haunted-house music at its best! You
can play this with either full or string orchestra, but
the percussion section is really vital and should be
used in both cases. This is recommended and will
thrill and delight your audience! A winner!

arrangement allows all instruments to play the
beautiful melody.
