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.

Dark Moon

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.

Entrance of the Queen of Sheba

Grand Mesa Strings

Based on the familiar old saying "It's raining cats and dogs," this Level 1 orchestra piece is a superb selection for a spring concert. The simple melody uses only the notes of the D major scale on the D and A strings. It begins with pizzicato raindrops and later introduces "barking" arco interjects and "meowing" glissandi. Each section gets a chance to try both techniques, and each section gets the melody. Guaranteed fun for young students and their parents alike! A viola TC as an alternative to the viola part is included.
