Original Concert Works easy
4 Pirate's CodeSteven J. Campbell. Explore the
pirate's code! Set in G major, this piece is full of
driving, dark melodies while also including beautiful
legato sections challenging students to change
gears. Your land-loving young orchestra will want
to play it again and again!

4 Portal GatesLarry Clark. Think of a magnificent
entrance to a city or castle, such as the fictitious
Camelot. Based upon strong intervals of fourths
and fifths, the main melodic material is strong, yet
joyful. It is sophisticated music for young groups,
but something they will love to play.

l PrimulaYukiko Nishimura. Fresh, flowing, and
beautiful best describe this work. Expressing the
feeling of joy at the coming of spring, the piece is
lush, then light; introspective, then happy, taking
the listener on a wonderful journey.

n Rain FestivalJeremy Woolstenhulme. Easily
chosen as their favorite of the year - because
your players enjoyed creating moods and sounds
outside the traditional classical realm! Simple
percussion parts are included so string students
can experience the tambourine, wood block, rain
stick, claves and conga drum. Finger snaps create
the sound of rain before moving into a dance-like
syncopated theme. An excellent selection for a
concert closer or recruitment piece.

H
Sahara CrossingRichard Meyer. Sounds of a
desert caravan are found in this fun and exciting
original by Richard Meyer. It's an excellent piece to
reinforce the tonal color of low first finger notes (Eb
and Bb). The bouncing cello and bass parts and
optional tambourine and finger cymbal parts add
just the right exotic flavor. Wonderful!

n Ships of IrelandSoon Hee Newbold. This
driving, D minor jig is a great way to close a
concert! All sections get a chance to play the
theme as well as accompany, using pizzicato,
drones, or a lilting figure that conveys the
rolling waves of the sea. This calls for crisp,
clean playing that will bring out the best in your
students and thrill your audience.

SilhouettesAlan Lee Silva. With legato
melodic lines, driving marcato phrases and quiet
pizzicato figures, Silhouettes employs a wide
range of musical techniques for young players
to grasp. The piece begins with four measures
of unaccompanied, solo violin playing the lyrical
melody. The rest of the orchestra then joins to
create lovely melodies and harmonies that are lush
and full-sounding. Expressive playing and dynamic
contrasts showcase your students' musicianship
from beginning to end.

n SnowflakeYukiko Nishimura. Floating and
delicate, this gorgeous piece features long melody
lines and plenty of sustaining harmonies. It evokes
the feeling of taking a walk during a gentle snowfall.
The first violin part leads with the main melody, as
the other sections have an inner melody. Each line
should be played espressivo at all times. A stunning
selection for winter concerts.

H
Spring Breezesarr. Richard Meyer. Try this
tender folksong from Taiwan to develop your
students' sensitive and lyric style. Accompanied
by lush, modern-sounding harmonies, the melody
is passed to each section. The solos for violin
and cello are at a medium-easy level, and are
accompanied by a prominent harp or piano part.
Simply gorgeous!
2442762 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 48.00
n Stone Mountain StompCarl Strommen.
This one stands out in the "fiddle tune" category.
Carl Strommen has managed to take some of
the sounds of Southern fiddling and mix them
with a Western "Copland-esque" style and make
something really special. Another great feature of
this one is that the violas and low strings all get a
chance at some fiddling.
2472094 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 47.00
Storm the GatesAlan Lee Silva. This piece is a
rush of excitement right out of the gates. Starting
with exciting and angular rhythms, this work moves
to sweet, lyrical lines.

4 A Tale of Four TreesElizabeth Daily & Bob
Phillips. Cute narration and easy string parts! The
perfect piece to play for parents of younger players or
for older players performing for elementary students,
the narration takes the audience on a musical tour of
the creation of a beautiful stringed instrument.
10520803 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 46.00
l Tampa MarchSara Bongo & Robert Moore.
Imagine a land of sunshine and flip-flops, and you'll
be able to imagine the warm smiles from players
and audiences. With a chance for each section
to shine in this playful piece, you'll also find that
the countermelodies and driving pace will create a
spirited toe-tapping mood.

Tango D'amourSusan Day. Winner of the 2006
Texas Orchestra Directors Association Composition
Contest, the French title means "Tango of Love."
From the opening three chords, this piece is set
apart by its dramatic quality, intriguing harmonies
and genuine tango style. Written in D minor, all
parts stay in first position. An appropriate choice
for any concert, festival, or contest, students and
teachers will want to play this one every day!
10026992 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 47.00
l Theme with Academic VariationsTraditional/
arr. Jeffrey S. Bishop. After introducing the theme,
the orchestra then performs "variations" of it: a
version with 85% of the notes correct; 93% correct;
100% but with poor musicianship; and finally "as
perfect as possible." It's a real eye-opener for
parents, community members, and administrators.
10500822 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
H ToccatinaWilliam Hofeldt. This is exceptionally
nice! Very rhythmic and in a minor key, this "little
toccata" is a very welcome addition to the easy
string orchestra literature!
2253037 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
n TurbulenceWilliam Owens. Turbulence gets
its kick from driving accented rhythms and edgy
dissonance. It's got the right balance of lyrical style
and rhythmic punch for even your violas and cellos
to shake things up. Highly recommended.
10307145 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
l Under the BigtopSusan Day. Picture the
trapeze artists, performing elephants, the organ
grinders with their monkeys, and the excitement on
the children's faces! Written in the key of G Major,
in 3/4 time, all parts share the melody lines with
an upbeat tempo, some slurs, lifts, pizzicato, and
accidentals. This piece is sure to bring a smile to
players and audience.
10520403 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
4 UndercurrentsSean O'Loughlin. A four-note
motive pushes the piece forward and is contrasted by
a lush middle section. The unrelenting motive comes
back and brings the piece to a dramatic finish.
10522063 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
Valse DiaboliqueJoseph Compello. This dark,
rich and mysterious piece would fit perfectly on a
Halloween concert or festival. This is the kind of
music students love to play.

n Variations on an Irish TuneBrian Balmages.
Based on Thomas Moore's famous song The
Minstrel Boy, this work uses the full gamut of styles
and techniques, from bagpipe drones to lyrical
playing and even fiddle music. The work is composed
of three variations that run together seamlessly. The
first variation presents the entire tune, much more
upbeat than it is usually performed. The second,
lyrical section is absolutely beautiful and offers an
opportunity for working on musicianship and phrasing
without overextending the group technically. The
final section is fiddle music and takes the audience
on a thrill ride that builds to a glorious conclusion.
A wonderful piece to showcase your group!
10008688 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
n VikingSoon Hee Newbold. Take on the
dynamic spirit of the ancient Vikings in this
energetic piece! Open-string double stops,
pizzicato, and optional percussion create a
dramatic sound that will transport you into a
legendary seafaring adventure. Each instrument
part is featured while working on various bowing
styles and dynamics. Violins utilize low 2nd
finger, while basses have limited low 1s.
10454265 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
Viola CountryRichard Meyer. Spotlight your
magnificent violas in this feature with Western
flavors, and give your "unsung heroes" a chance
to show off. Includes a heroic opening, a flashy
"fiddle" melody and a flowing legato section. Easy
to rehearse, and fun for every section!
10370736 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 49.00
WinstrideDoug Spata. In this sunny, playful
piece, the notes and rhythms are basic. There are
great counting challenges and a minor-key middle
section that offers nice contrast, but young players
will hardly notice the challenges.
10453639 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 48.00
Breathless—Stephen Chin. Flight, fright or fight? Whatever the feeling, this
work will leave you breathless! The edgy rhythms and changes of meter are
certainly evocative of a desperate pursuit. The lyrical middle section, with the
melody line shared by the cellos and second violins, offers some respite before
the frantic journey resumes.

Fiesta Barcelona—Stephen Chin. Get out the castanets; it's party time in
Barcelona! This work evokes all the fun and energy found in that marvelous city
in Spain. The very catchy tunes are shared right around the ensemble - even the
double basses soak up a bit of the limelight! Your ensemble will love use of the
Phrygian mode and syncopated rhythms that give Spanish music its true flavor.

Petite Marche Hongroise—Stephen Chin. Want to showcase your
beginner strings and concert band in an orchestra? Well, this is just the piece for
your ensemble! Written in the Hungarian style, the rondo form allows the wind,
strings and full orchestra each to be highlighted.
