Xerxes meets James Bond - and multicultural (world) music meets rock - in
  this fast and fantastical original composition for string orchestra and
  (optional) drum set. Your journey takes you to the ancient Persian empire,
  where the Zoroastrian gods (Ahuras) wage a musical battle of good versus
  evil. Featuring the cello section, and written in C minor, this bold and
  unique piece offers an opportunity for all sections of the orchestra to shine
  by interweaving several melodies at the same time, while demanding intense
  energy and focus throughout the entire composition. 
    
    
    
    Double stops in the middle and lower strings, challenging fingerings for
  first violins, dotted eighth-sixteenth note patterns, syncopated rhythms, and
  dynamic variations will require a great deal of practice but will result in a
  great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment for intermediate and even advanced
  high school string orchestra students. The percussion (drum set) part is
  optional but highly recommended.

String Orchestra Score & Parts

Capturing the essence of a slight breeze on a beautiful day in the English capital, this lovely piece of music uses the familiar Westminster Chime theme made famous by Big Ben and grandfather clocks around the world as a background to a gorgeous, flowing melody.  Empower your second-year string students to explore three-quarter time and G string notes, as every section of the orchestra gets the chance to perform the main theme in this original composition.  The addition of tubular bells at the beginning and end make this an unforgettable selection that young orchestra students will love!

Westminster Winds

Light a spark with this exciting original composition and watch your students' enthusiasm spread like wildfire!  Written in G minor and filled with challenging rhythms and enticing harmonies, this exhilarating, bold new piece for intermediate string orchestra offers first violins the option to briefly visit third position while encouraging basses to play almost entirely in half position.  All sections of the Orchestra are provided with melodic material in this blazingly aggressive composition.  Featuring an extended pizzicato section in the middle (a pensive theme atop arpeggios), the tempo never lets up, and neither does the energy needed to keep the flames alive this fast, fun, and fiery piece.
