Aspen
Falls E |

Here is a Robert Frost
original that contains a first and second ending without a traditional
section repeat. The melody is played in each part and the music dances
along with all the warmth and charm that is typical of Frost's music.

First
Things First: Elementary Level Ensembles E |
| |
A collection of traditional
folk songs, classical themes, rounds and original pieces representing
over ten countries and styles from around the world. The compositions
are arranged to be extremely versatile in meeting the needs of younger
beginners in an elementary level string orchestra. Each instrument
has the melody line as well as an additional harmony line. Sound effects
such as knocks and squeaks are included in several pieces. |

Habanera
E |
| |
From Bizet's Carmen
Suite #2, this familiar dance theme is scored in D minor and major
so the chromatic melody lies exceedingly well for young strings. A
mixed legato and staccato bow strokes typify the lead lines, while
supporting parts play a good deal of pizzicato for contrast. An optional
piano part is included. |

Sansseneon
M |
| |
This is a single movement
work made up of three contrasting sections. The opening features the
low strings, the middle section is a short waltz and the final section
emphasizes a string rhythmic drive and syncopation for all players.
This is not to be missed and is a likely candidate for contest and
festival required repertoire lists. Special interdisciplinary studies
are included. |

Simple
Gifts ME |
| |
Of all the Shaker hymns,
this is undoubtedly the best known because of Copland's use of it
in Appalacian Spring. This arrangement combines simple pentatonic
melodies with memorable rhythms. Harmonics, tremolo and strummed chords
in the keys of G and D add flair. The score contains an excellent
synopsis of shaker life for students and audiences. Optional piano
included. |
