    Au revoir Budapest by Stephen Chin

    As the name suggests, "Good-bye Budapest" is a piece of music that embodies the essence of the traditional Hungarian czardas style. The composition commences with a haunting melody accompanied by languid strings, evoking a sense of deep introspection. The music then changes course and transforms into a frenetic free-for-all, where different orchestra sections take turns showcasing the main theme. The resulting sound is a joyful cacophony that is both exhilarating and awe-inspiring. 

    The music then turns melancholic with a stunning rendition of the opening melody, played by a solo violin. The trembling upper strings and plucked lower strings create an eerie atmosphere, adding a mysterious element to the work. The return of the czardas brings back the joyous sound in the key of D major, but the section is quickly cut short, and the music concludes with a ferocious presto that leaves a lasting impression. 

    Overall, "Good-bye Budapest" is a composition that showcases the full range of emotions that music can evoke. This piece has everything from soul-searching to frenzied joy and from melancholy to ferocity.

    La Follia By Corelli Arr Stephen Chin

    Arcangelo Corelli (1653 - 1713) was a Baroque composer who set the standard for musical composition in his time. This piece is based on the last of his opus five violin sonatas, which includes twenty-four variations on the Spanish melody "La Follia". The arrangement presents five variations after the theme is introduced, with each upper-string section playing the tune fully against Corelli's original figurations. The main theme returns in an opulent manner.

    The Cliffs of Moher, rising about 200 meters above the Atlantic on Ireland's west coast, are home to many birds and sea life, such as grey seals and dolphins.

    Fiddlers Ahoy! By Stephen Chin

    This nautical-themed piece starts with violas and cellos evoking the swell of waves. The seconds create sea breeze sounds; the first violin plays the main theme energetically. Everyone gets a chance to participate, and the middle section featuring cellos is eerie. The suspenseful wait for the sea breezes to pick up again adds to the effect, and the piece ends with a fun and lively section.
