    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.

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

    The piece of music is a shorter version of a larger work originally composed for a massed orchestra of string instruments. The inspiration behind this composition stems from the famous poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The poem tells the harrowing tale of a ship's crew who are doomed to suffer after killing an albatross, with only the mariner - the person who committed the act of killing - surviving to tell the tale. The music captures the sentiment of sorrow and the possibility of redemption that runs through the poem. In the faster section of the piece, the music depicts the ship as it battles against the relentless and merciless waves of the sea.

    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.

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.
