harmonic glissandos to the innovative "special
effects sounds" that imitate authentic instruments
such as the ehru, pipa, and gamelan, this work is
brilliantly orchestrated. Combined with rhythmic
intensity and soaring themes, your strings will
experience a powerful sound they've never
created before! Sensational!

4 Lullaby to the MoonBrian Balmages. Many
fictional works portray the moon as a living being,
alone in space while looking at the Earth. This
lullaby honors this "living moon," portraying various
emotions including the loneliness of watching us
from space and the moments of comfort as the
moon proudly watches over us.

MantrasRichard Meyer. This fascinating,
contemporary original will create a level of
excitement not often found at this level! Easy mixed
meter, modal scales and driving syncopations
combine to create an ideal concert and contest
selection that will show off your group in the best
light! Powerful!

n Medieval WarsBrian Balmages. This could be
the high point of your concert! The dark opening
sets the stage for the entry of the knights, who ride
into the stadium with a noble theme over pulsating
lower strings. As the tournament begins, the music
becomes aggressive and driving, drawing everyone
into the action. The final ceremony crowns our
champion and brings the music to a magnificent
and regal finale! This is all done within the reach of
players bordering on the easy to medium-easy levels!
10027355 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
MomentumRichard Meyer. A great choice for
your next concert or contest! This provides a wide
variety of outstanding teaching opportunities while
using a fresh "new" sound that your students will
love! As the title suggests, a driving, rhythmic pulse
permeates this contemporary original, but the piece
incorporates two diverse moods: a highly rhythmic
first section in B Minor, built on rising and falling
thirds, followed by a simple chorale in folk song
style. Once this slow material is passed around
the energy is re-established with earlier material.
A solid work for concert and contest.

Moon BassTodd Parrish. Let your string bass
section swing in this easy-to-play blues piece as
they build skills and enjoy the motivation of being
in the spotlight. Basses carry the melody much of
the time, while also accompanying the melody as
it weaves through other sections. All parts stay in
first position, while the bass shifts briefly to third
position. Educational objectives include playing
accidentals, contrasting between staccato and
legato, and learning to play in a swing style.

n MythosSoon Hee Newbold. Soon Hee Newbold's
music has sparked the imaginations of string players
and audiences alike. In this work, three sections.
Once Upon A Time; Fantasy; and, Final Victory are
performed without pause. The music tells the story
and takes the listeners on a musical journey that is
limited only by imagination. Powerful!
10008684 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
n On a Hymnsong of Philip BlissDavid
Holsinger. Originally written for band in 1989, this
work is based on the famous American hymn It Is
Well with My Soul. A standard in the concert band
repertoire, it has also become a concert staple for
string orchestras.
5896253 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
n Orange JamJeffrey 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!"

n Perpetual Fiddle MotionBrian Balmages. Here
is a barnburner that will bring down the house and
then some! Combining the joy of fiddle music with
the thrill of perpetual motion, this high-speed rush
captures the authentic feel of Appalachian folk
music while adding quite a few twists.

4 Pictures of Puget SoundAlan Lee Silva. As the
title implies, you will get composer Alan Lee Silva's
imaginative take on the beauty of the Puget Sound
in Washington state. There are driving rhythms,
effortlessly flowing melodies, beautiful harmonic
colors and just an overwhelming sense that the
piece is exactly as it should be.
10522047 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
Pioneer SkyDoug Spata. This jubilant overture
is bristling with energetic ostinatos and heroic
melodies for each section. Students will reinforce
multiple slurs, syncopation, and basic shifting,
and audiences will be inspired by the triumphant,
romantic style.
10444023 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
n Possibilities...Brian Balmages. Russian-
American philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand's
influential book Atlas Shrugged inspired this
powerful work, reminding all of the power of being
master of one's own destiny, and that life will
always offer challenges to overcome. A moving
feature for your group's pianist.

n Postcard from MarsLauren Bernofsky. Looking
for a fun, yet stimulating piece for your group? Then
how about some music from Mars? This fantastic
original work contains all the notes from traditional
minor and major scales, but you have never heard
them played in these combinations before! The
music is cleverly designed to fit well under the
fingers, but the melodic and harmonic gestures
are, well, out of this world!
10366859 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
n Postcards from RussiaCarrie Lane Gruselle.
This thrilling set of three Russian folk tunes will put
your players (and audience) through their paces!
Using a wide variety of dynamics, articulations,
and tempi, three 3 tunes - Minka; Meadowland
and Korobushka, run the emotional gamut from
melancholy to pure exuberance! Set in the dramatic
key of D minor, this one includes the exciting
accelerando finish. If you do it right, you'll leave the
audience breathless!
2480767 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
Remote ControlRichard Meyer. This one is
"laugh-out-loud" funny! The concept is simple:
what if you could control a live orchestra with
a remote control? With the click of a switch (or,
in this case, the sound of a bell), the orchestra
switches from piece to piece in mid-phrase. Listen
as Eine Kleine Nachtmusik changes to Beethoven's
Seventh to Stars and Stripes Forever and back
again! Your audience will love it as they "surf"
from channel to channel, including brief stops at
the "Opera" channel and the "Sci-Fi" channel! This
remote even has a "pause" button that freezes the
orchestra, and a "mute" button that keeps them
playing, but with no sound! Great fun for everyone!
