Robert Longfield. One of the most famous and best-loved paso dobles ever written in a setting for string orchestra! Fiery rhythms and sweeping Spanish melodies make this an outstanding change of pace for concert or festival performance. 10756566 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . M 40.00 4 Gaelic TrilogyTraditional/arr. Jim Palmer. Gaelic Trilogy provides the string orchestra with an opportunity to perform three Irish fiddle tunes: Fair-Haired Mary; Neil Gow's Lament and Stray Away Child. All sections, including the basses, get a chance to play beautiful melodies as well as interesting accompaniments. With three distinct styles and tempos, this exciting piece is a great introduction to Irish fiddling. 10738934 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . M 49.00 4 A Halloween ThrillerRod Temperton, J.S. Bach & Modest Mussorgsky/arr. Ralph Ford. Written especially for your next Halloween concert, this medley features two great spooky classical themes and a modern "classic" including Toccata and Fugue in D Minor; A Night on Bald Mountain and Michael Jackson's Thriller. There is the option to start at three different places should time be a concern: the beginning, measure 28, or measure 63. When performing Thriller, you may take the optional jump at measure 109 to the spoken vamp and let a guest narrator "thrill" your audience with the spoken part made famous by Sir Vincent Price. Once the vamp is completed, jump back to measure 110 and end at the Fine. If the vamp section is not desired, simply play the arrangement straight through as written. 10695955 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . M 64.00 Jazzed Up & High StrungBrian Holmes.

If you're going to program a novelty piece for strings, your students and audience deserve one from this American master. 4533071 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . M 59.00 4 St. Louis BluesW.C. Handy/arr. Mike Lewis. Everyone loves the blues! They will love them even more after hearing this treatment that plays the string orchestra like a W. C. Handy piano roll. 10738753 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . M 40.00 Strings Cut LooseBrian Balmages. This nod to alternative styles centers around a funk groove that is loosely based on blues harmonic progression. The entire groove is created organically in the strings alone (no percussion!) An option for audience participation in the middle (clapping on beats 2 and 4) really adds to the flair of the chart. 10512592 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . M 50.00 4 Swamp ThangRichard Meyer. Hotter than a Cajun barbecue, this tour de force for the advanced string orchestra is a workout for all of your students (and their conductor!)

It's a delightful performance piece that will provide lots of motivation to practice those important skills. 10752112 String Orchestra with piano . . 45.00 H Celtic DanceMark Williams.
