    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.

    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.
