    Two Grieg Lyric Pieces By Grieg Arr. Stephen Chin

    Grieg's music is a beautiful representation of Norwegian folk songs; these pieces are no exception. The "Watchman's Song" has a haunting quality, with a section where the watchman sees a ghostly apparition. The use of tremolo in this section is particularly effective in conveying the eerie atmosphere. The melancholic waltz that follows is reminiscent of being in a dimly lit troll's cave, with its mournful melody and slow tempo. The contrast of keys and playing styles in these works adds depth and complexity, making them a great choice for refining any ensemble. Overall, these pieces are a testament to Grieg's skill in capturing the essence of Norwegian folk music and bringing it to life through his compositions.

    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.

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

    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.
