folk style, the first movement has multiple sections
in varying styles and meters, and the second
movement is rhythmic, energetic fiddle writing at
its best.

and fun!

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!

H 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

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!

the unique qualities of each. With titles such as Fit
as a Fiddle, Sol-La Viola, Cello Pudding, and Oasis
for Basses, this piece answers an important and
greatly overlooked motivational need in today's
student music.

Shadows in the HouseThom Sharp. This
fast swing piece in G minor is playfully sneaky!
With a catchy, singable tune, this work features
a tutti pizzicato section, as well as some melodic
moments for bass and celli. All parts remain in

piece in a power rock style, similar to the Ramones,
Green Day, or Foo Fighters that students will enjoy

that is fun to perform, and a tonality that is familiar
to them. The spirit of the piece is the enthusiastic
embracing of living in the moment. Very accessible,
using mostly first position and few accidentals, this
piece will also challenge your group with its energetic
tempo, independent voicing, and syncopated,
interlocking rhythms. Perfect for any concert, even
a festival program that utilizes several genres.

n Viva ViolasRichard Meyer. Take out the
castanets because the violas are taking the
stage, Spanish style! It begins in a "Paso Doble"
reminiscent of a vigorous Spanish guitar solo, then
moves into a major key allegretto where the violas
even get a chance to glissando!
