It is perfect as an opening or closing selection for your next concert! (2:00)

Dark Moon is a work which lies mostly in the Aeolian mode with hints of Dorian and Phrygian as the work progresses. Starting out rather aggressively, the piece grows in volume and intensity to a climax about halfway through at which point it transitions to a softer, more legato feel with gentle pizzicato accompaniment. The mood then rather quickly transitions back to an aggressive tone with wide leaps and short repetitive motives leading to the climactic finish.

Chanukah Celebration

Grab your beret and take a walk along the Seine River or perhaps enjoy an espresso at a Parisian cafe! In this delightful level 2.5 piece in G Major, the string bass section shines as the jazzy chords in the orchestra accompaniment conjure images of a sunny day in Paris. The harmonies in this piece introduce young orchestra students to chords typically found in French cafe jazz music, in particular the "flat VI chord." While this piece highlights the bass section, it gives all sections plenty to do including trills, grace notes, and some optional third position work in the violins and violas.

As the piece develops, pieces of the two carols are increasingly woven together, shifting seamlessly between the two at times. From the rhythmic opening to the sweeping lines that ensue, this is certain to be a memorable part of your winter program!

Yesterday

Nicknamed "Prague" after the city of its premiere, Mozart's Symphony No. 38 followed quickly after the resounding success of his opera "The Marriage of Figaro," which also premiered in 1786. This arrangement functions much like a concerto grosso, with string soloists performing the woodwind parts accompanied by tutti string sections and timpani, just as Mozart penned them. As such, it is a great teaching tool for playing in Classical style and an opportunity to feature your top players in a brilliant piece of timeless repertoire.

Tuneful and melodic, this opens with a section in C major and later modulates to F. All the sections of the ensemble have a chance to shine as the melodic material is developed and shaped throughout the composition.

Serenade for String Orchestra

String Orchestra Score & Parts Set C (8, 8, 5, 5, 5)

Expressing the many different moods and events of a storm, the opening begins with the violins playing a gripping ostinato pattern suggesting that a storm is coming. The first two themes convey the erratic tendency of powerful gusty winds. The storm moves into a peaceful lull with a melancholy third theme played by a solo violin and viola. The storm then grows in intensity as the final statement combines all the elements (or themes) of the storm.

Overture to the Wind

A focus on dotted‑quarter and dotted‑eighth rhythms sits at the heart of this Grade 1.5 overture for strings, giving young players a clear first step into counting dotted rhythms. The writing stays upbeat and straightforward, with enough marcato and legato contrast to reinforce basic bow‑stroke differences. A strong concert opener, this offers a dependable way to introduce dotted figures in a full‑ensemble context and build comfort with steady subdivisions.

Beyond the Horizon

British Isles Travelogue features a folksong from each of the four UK
  countries. The Ash Grove from Wales highlights first and second violin
  harmonies, followed by the lively English Morris Dance.  In Blue Bell of
  Scotland, each section has its chance to shine, accompanied by the droning
  bagpipe fifths in the other parts.  The Irish Sailors' Hornpipe leaves
  listeners ready to dance a jig and sends the more advanced violins to third
  position.

British Isles Travelogue

This lush string arrangement can be played alongside the original solo piano piece, with all the same lyrical flowing lines. Teaching opportunities include challenging position work, impressionistic tonalities, and advanced melodic phrasing in this well-known ethereal melody.
