This piece, Rejuvenation, follows the path of my musical journey, from before music school to the present 
day. The main melody is frolicking and free, making little turns and other little nuances along the way as 
it unfolds. As the piece progresses, the melody takes on many forms from light and sweet to dramatic and 
heavy, representing my love for music being tested by the confines of critique, with a little sixteenth-note 
motif trying to intersect its way into the melodyNo matter though, the main melody triumphs at the 
end, and ultimately calms into something peaceful and introspective. Nothing can defeat passion in the 
end, as it makes us who we are as individuals, and helps to build a community around us.

Countryside Rigadoon was first featured on the popular YouTube channel,
  TwoSetVIolin, for the first video of their "We Play Our Fan's
  Compositions" series. Composed by LaMotte in June of 2020, he creates
  the imagery of a countryside wedding or festival, to capture the spirit of
  his home state of Colorado. Not only will the piece showcase your musicians'
  talent but will also put a smile on the faces of the audience as well as the
  ones of stage!

Serenade for Strings

After gaining massive support from the original violin duet version,
  LaMotte has created an encore to Countryside Rigadoon, expanding the
  instrumentation to a full string orchestra! While still staying true to the
  original, the string orchestra version has its own special surprises
  throughout the work, including chances for each of your section leaders to
  shine. This piece will surely appeal to all members of both the audience and
  the musicians, providing an excellent addition to your concert program. The
  following recording is by the Reddit Symphony Orchestra.

This suite composed for string orchestra by Alex LaMotte has something
  for everybody, beginning with a charming Prelude, followed by a stately
  Saraband, a flirtatious Mazurka and finally ending with a boisterous
  Tarantella. Each of the movements has its own set of challenges for each
  section of the orchestra, from shifting to rhythm to technique. This piece
  will not only be a crowd pleaser for your audience, but also a joy to play by
  the musicians themselves!

Suite of Dances

This stunning arrangement of Dvorak's first Slavonic Dance will leave
  your audience speechless. LaMotte crafted this arrangement to be very similar
  to the fiery original, allowing the intensity to remain just as prevalent.
  This arrangement will be a great addition to any part of your concert
  program.

Slavonic Dance No. 1

This charming collection of melodies will be a great edition to your chamber group's Solo &amp; Ensemble performance. With four different tunes of diverse style, tempo, and musicality, there is something for everyone to enjoy for both the audience and the musicians themselves.

Four Melodies

Violin Ensemble

Composed for string orchestra, harp, and percussion, this arrangement of the popular folk tune "Shenandoah" is nothing short of a show stopper. Comprised of a theme and five separate variations, LaMotte encapsulates the spirit of the Shenandoah Valley, from the people to the extraordinary landscape surrounding them. If you're looking for a challenge for your ensemble, this work will provide numerous learning opportunities, including technique, shifting, and an array of challenging key signatures.

Variations on an American Theme

LaMotte composed this work as a commission piece for the Regionales Jugendsinfonieorchester Solothurn (RJSO) in Switzerland. Unlike most works featuring one or multiple soloists, Festival Sinfonietta provides a bridge between two very different sections of the orchestra, with both a solo oboe and a solo violin. Comprised of four miniature subsections plus two cadenzas, this six to seven minute work is a perfect fit for any musician or audience member.The soloists are encouraged to write their own cadenzas to further personalize the piece, but if needed you can email LaMotte at alexlamottemusic@gmail.com to receive copies of the original cadenzas that he composed.

Chamber Orchestra Score & Parts

LaMotte wrote Jester Galop as a final project assignment for one of his music theory classes back in 2022, during his time at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. The point of the assignment was to write a piece in Sonata-Allegro form, a popular formula of many classical composers' works, for a string quartet instrumentation. In LaMotte's eyes, he wanted to create a piece that reflected the times in which Sonata-Allegro form was popular, while adding a refreshing spin to it. And thus, LaMotte decided to take the "galop," a lively ballroom dance from the late 18th century, and combine it with the concept of a jester, a clown-like entertainer that originated a few centuries before. The style of the piece is overall pretty classical, but incorporates a few joking elements throughout the piece (i.e. slides, sudden changes in melody, etc.).
