2016-2017 Orchestra Music

Dear Teachers,Our 2016 orchestra release contains a great variety of music for both reinforcing technique in the classroom and performing concerts throughout the year. We have new works from established composers like Doug Spata, Kirt Mosier, and Jeffrey Bishop along with some new composers who have a fresh approach to share with todays orchestra teachers. Im especially excited about Momentium, by British composer Paul Barker. This work will bring a powerful sound to your ensemble while showcasing one of your talented violinists.

Our String Orchestra Series features a superb multi-movement arrangement of Carmen Suite featuring three of my favorite movements: Aragonaise, Habanera, and Les Toreadors. In addition, we are offering our first ever multi-level work for your next pyramid concert. Use The Three Knights Quest as an unforgettable finale with your elementary through high school orchestras. The Achievement series features a variety of well-written pieces for both high school and middle school orchestras. We are pleased to offer a newly-engraved 20th Year Commemorative edition of Kathy Fishburns Celtic Suite. Our Early Achievement series is perfect for second year orchestras looking for quality works. Your students will love playing Rosintown Rock. Use the drum and piano parts to really rock out in performance!

Best wishes for musical excellence in the coming year.

Fleetwing Track 3Doug Spata. Fleetwing is a soaring concert overture featuring shim-mering ostinatos, chromatic harmonies, bold accents, and bracing grace note runs. Melodies pass fluidly between sections of the orchestra before the central development section breaks the motifs down and introduces a greater degree of part independence. The main themes then regroup and culminate in an exciting, satisfying finish. 3035531 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Gr. 3 45.00 3035532 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00

On the Pilgrims Road Track 4Jeffrey S. Bishop. This exciting work for string orchestra features thematic material taken from songs of the 12th - 14th century Pilgrim Road to Jerusalem. Technically demanding, the driving thematic materials of the opening and closing sections alternate between arco melodies and pizzicato countermelodies. The middle, plaintive section balances the outer frenetic sections. Its a unique piece that works equally well for winter and spring concerts. 3035631 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . .

Waltz of the Wicked Track 6Kirt N. Mosier. This wild piece calls for violins and violas to use a one-finger glissando creating a very eerie effect. Cellos will get to strum three-note chords with their thumb while canonic passages make your group work together as never before.

Romance in G Major Track 7 (for Two Solo Violins and String Orchestra)Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Robert McCashin. Beethovens Romance in G Major was originally penned as a solo violin work with orchestra. In this arrangement, Robert McCashin has craftily reworked it for two violins and string orchestra. It maintains the entirety of the solo line (creatively shared by the two soloists) as well as the full Beethoven sound in the orchestration. The greatest benefit provided by this arrangement is that it is now much more accessible - not only to younger violinists, but also to the string orchestra setting. 3035601 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Gr. 4 55.00 3035602 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00

The Three Knights Quest Track 8 (Featuring parts for three levels: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced) Austin Isaac. This piece is specifically designed for a combined concert with ensembles from the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The Three Knights Quest is intended to have flexibility and creativity for each particular performance. You can assign each orchestra knight a color based upon school colors. This can be a great opportunity for student input on how to characterize each knight in order to make it more personally applicable for them.3035571 Multi-Level Orchestra. . . . . .

Symphony No. 104 Finale Track 9Franz Joseph Haydn/arr. Todd Parrish. This exuberant finale from Symphony No. 104 is Haydn at his best. The memorable theme is given to each section, and edits were made to give high school orchestras the best sound possible. Introduce your students to this master symphony writer to help reinforce classical style, bow technique, shifting, and dynamics. 3035581 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . .

Master of Disguise Track 10Brent D. Smith. This original work is a tribute to the life of Monsignor Hugh OFlaherty who played a significant role in saving the lives of Jews and Allied prisoners during World War II. Due to his ability to out-fox frequent traps laid by the Nazis, OFlaherty was nicknamed the Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican. Performers should swing the rhythm throughout the piece using a traditional jazz-waltz style. The drum set and piano parts add even more interest to the piece.3035651 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . Gr. 3.5 50.00 3035652 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00

Magic Flute Overture Track 11W.A. Mozart/arr. Robert McCashin. In the final three years of Mozarts life he suffered many disappointments, and had, in his final year, fallen gravely ill. So, the success of this comedic opera brought him not only substantial happiness and joy, but also success. This abbreviated version of this overture retains all the thematic material, harmonic substance and sound of Mozarts original work, making it accessible to the string orchestra medium!3035661 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Gr. 4 55.00 3035662 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00

ACHIEVEMENT seriesStorm the Castle Track 12Kirt N. Mosier.

The driving beat of this work suggests the journey and struggle to overcome as the violins come in with the main theme. The bass and celli pick up an augmented version of this theme to keep the pulse racing. The mysterious lyrical middle section is excellent for bow control and working on sound and vibrato. The piece journeys back to a triumphant ending with the original theme layered throughout the orchestra.3035551 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . .Gr. 2.5 45.00 3035552 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
