Autumn is a glorious time of year! The air cools, streets smell of fireplaces, and the trees burst into a one final display of loud amber and gold before they disappear into the silence of winter. Several variations of the main theme explore varying keys, time signatures and styles. The piece builds to a joyous finale, when all the variations overlap in a cacophony of jubilant counterpoint. Upbeat and festive! (3:45)

Commissioned by the National String Project Consortium, this gorgeous lyrical work can be performed alone as an intermediate level piece, or with multi-level supplemental parts (available separately) for beginning and developing string students. Orchestrated to celebrate inclusion and diversity, the multi-level option is designed to sound far "greater than" the intermediate version alone. Not your traditional festival orchestra piece by any means. (Grade 3, Dur 5:40)

Feature every section of your orchestra in this swashbuckling piece! Three distinct "pirate" themes are given to the violins, violas, and cellos/basses to allow all players a chance to shine. All seafaring melodies stay in first position with minimal low-two finger patterns and lots of doubling for a big, full sound. Each section takes an adventurous turn into new tonalities before joining forces at the end for a triumphant finale! (Grade 1.5, Dur 2:40)
