Of Glorious PlumageRichard Meyer. Using
the lush and modal harmonies associated with the
Impressionistic period, Of Glorious Plumage depicts
birds both at rest and in flight. There are no "bird
calls" heard here, rather a variety of effects and
interesting orchestration, with all of the instruments
eventually being featured. The second part of the
piece depicts glorious flocks of birds in majestic
flight using a hauntingly beautiful melody in 9/8.
The piece ends with a brief return of the opening
melody. A wonderful exploration into the sonorities
and orchestration techniques of the French
Impressionists, this mature and fascinating work is
sure to be a favorite with the more advanced high
school string orchestra.

Tension sets in with the opening cello solo, swathed

audiences to enjoy!

n Snake River StompSteve Laven. The winner
of the 2008 Texas Orchestra Directors Association
composition contest! This American tour de force
has shades of Copland mixed with exciting fiddling
motives and themes fit for a Hollywood western.
The composer describes it: "The Snake River flows
through Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and I tried to
capture some of its grandeur in the music. The
'stomp' comes from the heavy hoedown feel in cut
time. It's written in a rondo form, and its themes
have a familiar style that is easy to capture.
Students will love the fact that each string part is
interesting and unique."

an intense mood dominate much of the piece,
