You've heard of a fiddler on the roof? Well, how about an orchestra on the housetop! Feature the entire string orchestra, section by section, at your next winter concert (even bassists, who are cued in the cello line). Using just six notes, this new arrangement of an old holiday favorite is cleverly scored to sound rich and full. Optional percussion adds to the festivities. A perfect format for bolstering group confidence while promoting section independence! (1:30)
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)
