The Mariner's Tale By Stephen Chin

The piece of music presented here is a magnificent festival composition that takes its inspiration from the renowned poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Coleridge. It is designed to be played by musicians of different skill levels, and it is written for eight-string orchestras and percussion. The composition begins with an overwhelming surge of sound that mimics the rise of a wave, leading to a poignant melody that conveys the emotions of a sailor lost at sea. The music later builds up to a robust jig-like section that aptly captures the strength and power of the ocean. While only orchestra "A" is required to play percussion, the other seven orchestras can play the composition if desired, making for a grand and memorable performance.

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.

Au revoir Budapest by Stephen Chin

"Good-bye Budapest" is a traditional Hungarian czardas-style music piece. It begins with a haunting melody and languid strings, which then transition into a joyous free-for-all with various orchestra sections taking turns. A melancholic solo violin rendition is followed by the return of the czardas in D major, culminating in a ferocious presto. The music showcases a range of emotions, from introspection to frenzied joy and melancholy to ferocity.

Chin, Haydn Symphony No.60 1st Movement
This arrangement for strings is faithful to the original work with the added features of sharing the melodic lines, a slight editing of a few bars of the bass part, a violin 3 part and a keyboard realization. It is also an excellent way to develop Classical style spiccato in more advanced players.
