Charlie Parker/ arr. Paul Murtha

Saxes are featured in the beginning, later joined by the full ensemable with tutti rhythms. Short solo or soli section are included for the trumpets and saxes.
Overture to Rienzi for String Orchestra Level 4.5
Relive the opera overture that lead to one of Wagners earliest successes! This setting fully retains all the thematic, rhythmic and musical intent of the original orchestra version. Orchestrated to stay true to the vast scope and dimension of the original setting, this exciting work will compliment any program as an overture or as a big-finish closer!
Wild West Hoedown Level 2.5
This bright change-of-pace work evokes the toe-tapping sounds of the old west as settlers circle the wagons round for a Saturday night hoedown. Featuring athletic, yet very playable fiddle-style tunes that wander throughout the ensemble, the music also uses simple double-stops and contrasting rhythms that keep things moving along.
