    In Xanadu did Kubla Khan                                           

    A stately pleasure-dome decree:                                       

    Where Alph the sacred river ran                                  

    Through caverns measureless to man                        

    Down to a sunless sea. -  S T Coleridge.       

    Xanadu is the third and final work in the series containing The Bells of Ghengis Khan and Battle at the Great Wall.  Kubla Khan, the grandson of Ghengis Khan, was by contrast a leader who was interested in the finer aspects of living such as literature, music and calligraphy.  Clashing chords, piquant harmonies and a wide range of accessible string effects will ignite much enthusiasm in younger players.

    Divertimento By Mozart Arr. Stephen Chin

Some elements of this work are similar in vein to Mozart's famous "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik." Advanced intermediate players will enjoy the challenges of spiccato quavers, martele crotchets, measured tremolo, and lifted upbows, which are a must for developing precision and clarity in a more advanced string ensemble.

    The Mariner’s Tale by Stephen Chin (Advanced String Orchestra)

    This is a shorter version of a musical piece for string orchestra, based on a longer version for massed strings. The piece is inspired by Samuel Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", which tells the story of a ship at sea that experiences misfortune after an albatross is killed. The work expresses feelings of loss and grace. The faster section of the piece depicts the ship being tossed around by the rough ocean.
