Elegy At Dig Tree & Goin' Overland By Stephen Chin

The two musical compositions in question are a tribute to the intrepid spirit of the early Australian explorers. Dig Tree is the tragic site where the legendary explorers Burke and Wills met their unfortunate fate due to a series of unfortunate events. The Elegy is a poignant and moving piece of music that perfectly captures the sense of isolation and despair that these brave men must have experienced in the harsh and unforgiving wilderness. In stark contrast to this, Goin' Overland is an upbeat and exhilarating piece of music that perfectly captures the excitement and anticipation of exploring the vast and untamed Australian outback. The composition is characterized by a range of captivating string techniques, such as tremolo, harmonics, pizzicato, and legato, which artfully evoke the unique sounds and rhythms of the Australian landscape.

Pleyel, a renowned musician and entrepreneur in early 19th century Paris, wrote a beautiful piece for two violins in the late Classical style. The piece follows the sonata form and features a brooding first theme contrasted with an impish second theme played in staccato quavers. The movement ends with a lively duel between the violins, adding vibrancy and passion to the piece. Your orchestra will love it!

Allegro Molto by Franz Schubert arr. Stephen Chin

Schubert's Sonatina Op. 137, No. 1's Allegro molto movement, originally for violin and piano, has been arranged for strings, making it more accessible.

Composer Franz Schubert was a skilled violinist who wrote over 12 string quartets by age 19. His first three violin sonatas, including Sonata No. 1 in D major, D 384, were later published as Sonatinas in 1836. The charming piece of music is relatively easy to perform.

Schubert's "März 1816" sonata has an intimate atmosphere, perfect for a small ensemble. It features three movements: Allegro molto, Andante, and Allegro vivace. The Allegro molto is a lively and fast-paced movement, followed by a slower, more contemplative Andante. The piece concludes with a rousing Allegro vivace.
