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.

Two Treasures from the Ming Dynasty (Stephen Chin) for String Orchestra

The Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) was a remarkable period in China’s history, characterised by extensive exploration and the expansion of trade routes to Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean, which resulted in a nearly doubled population. The Imperial Court became a hub for the arts, showcasing a diverse range of talents in literature, music, painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Artistic representations often depicted the calming lotus and dynamic horses, symbolising both serenity and strength, while music featured sustained notes and energetic rhythms that echoed these themes.

Divertimento By Mozart Arr. Stephen Chin

Originally written for wind ensemble and later arranged for pianoforte, these charming movements have been carefully placed to give the sense of a fully integrated work. 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.
