Blue Horizon

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.

Finale from Symphony No. 38, "Prague"

Everything String

The title is a pun on exploring new territory and the power of earthmoving equipment. The arresting key of G minor, the strong themes, and the incessant use of down-bows suggest the driving force of these kinds of groundbreakers.

Adventuresome and exuberant, Upward! captures the spirit of those looking to take on the world! Like the title, the main musical idea and its variations effortlessly ascend throughout the work. Performers are able to master each new challenge in stride, from simple quarter note bow strokes to optional double stops to energized eighth notes. Playable with open strings and a one octave D major scale, a first position bass part, and simple phrasing, Upward! is easily accessible for musicians and audiences alike! Upward! should be performed with controlled, energetic bow strokes. On quarter notes, performers can think the word "zing" to energize and emphasize bow changes. Slight space ("zip") may help articulate repeated notes in larger ensembles like those found in measure 28. Eighth notes should be played with "sticky" bows that do not leave the string, using no more than half the bow. Half notes are a perfect place to check for straight, controlled bow strokes. Beautiful left hand position is required to play this piece. Fingers should hover above the string when not in use, so they are ready to play in tune and in time. Double stops are most effectively performed non-divisi but may be divided at the discretion of the director. Musicians may need to practice playing double stops on open strings before adding fingers.

Upward!

Opening with the powerful sound of open 5ths, this work transports the listener back to ancient times and life in a magnificent castle.  Experience the festivals and celebrations that would often occur as the melodies work their way through all sections of the orchestra.  Exciting and jovial!

Gaelic Castle

Selections include: Promenade; The Gnome; The Old Castle; The Tuileries Gardens - Children Quarrelling at Play; The Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks; The Hut of Baba-Yaga and The Great Gate of Kiev. Play some or all as perfect centerpiece for your next concert. A stunning way to introduce students to Mussorgsky's masterwork!

Pictures at an Exhibition

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.
