Violinist and composer Soon Hee Newbold offers this delightful work based on the sounds of Russia. You'll be amazed at how interesting this work can sound using note values no smaller than a quarter note. Simple imitation enhances the overall sound and helps students learn to play independently of each other without having to learn a new part. Violin 2 doubles the viola to provide flexible performing options. Exquisite writing for beginning orchestras from one of the country's most respected string composers!
This authentic and vibrant work brings the sound and spirit of Mariachi to the string orchestra! Complete with strumming passages, catchy syncopated figures, and energetic melodies, the piece also includes parts for an optional guitar ensemble to really add some flavor! Many principal players have solo opportunities in this passionate, colorful salute to traditional Mexican music. Unique and a ton of fun! (3:00)

Feature a guest artist or star student in this piece that includes an advanced level violin solo along with a more approachable solo for the younger, yet ambitious student. Well within the technical grasp of young orchestras, the music is designed to allow the soloist to display both technique and lyricism as the piece moves through a series of "diversions" held together by a common theme. Inspiring for your students and your audience! (4:30)
