Perpetual Fiddle Motion By Balmages (FJH)
Perpetual Fiddle Motion by Brian Balmages Gr2.5
This driving and exciting rock-inspired tune will shock directors when they realize it only uses open strings and first finger in all instruments! This is an ideal piece to either introduce students to the bow or to new strings. Complete with a bridge and short coda section, the piece includes an optional (and simple) drum set part.

Dance of the Tumblers by Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. Bob Lipton Gr2.5
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)

This arrangement is rich with pedagogical and musical opportunity! Written by a 16-year-old Mozart, it is in Rondo form with distinct key centers to establish hand patterns and excellent intonation. It uses sudden dynamic changes for dramatic effect, reinforces off-the-string bowing, and further develops speed and facility in the left hand. A complete package from the Classical era! (3:45)
