Hear the call of ancient ancestors in this exciting tribute to legend and legacy. Bold, heroic themes of fierce warriors and noble rulers rise through subtle pentatonic harmonies that suggest mighty Chinese dynasties. Adventurous melodies in a driving 6/8 are passed to every section with a few easy accidentals. A great teaching piece to focus on slurred string crossings while staying in first position. (3:15)
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)
Bringer of War (After Holst) by Balmages (FJH)
Inspired by an incredible display of stars the composer experienced in Hawaii, this piece portrays the ponderous and expansive beauty of the night sky. Broad, sustained notes make extensive use of full bows, ideal for reinforcing bow control and purity of tone. A stunning work with gorgeous harmonies and colors sure to charm your audience. (3:45)
