This powerful, heartfelt work pays tribute to a student gone too soon, who left behind a melody he composed as part of a class project. Balmages takes this melody and develops it into a full-blown fantasy exploring beauty, vulnerability, heartbreak, and hope. Stunning and unforgettable.
This outstanding pair of contrasting movements moves from a plaintive and pleading Larghetto to an Allegro with all the cheer and sparkle one can imagine. An exceptional opportunity to work on the music of Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities for musical development! (5:15)

Swashbucklers Saga by Chris Thomas (Grade 2.5) FJH
Embark on a journey across the high seas with Neridah Oostenbroek's gusty piece that captures the rogue nature of Caribbean pirates. Featuring contrasting sections and techniques such as harmonics, pizzicato, and double stops, there is never a dull moment. Sure to be a student favorite! (2:45)
