Pay tribute to the Greek muse of dance, Terpsichore, with this lively jig in G minor. Upper strings have the opportunity to shift to third position and stay there to play the main theme. Cellos are the most active shifters, using second, third, and fourth positions, and even the bass section will bounce around! An original work with a distinctly Celtic sound and feel, it's a kid-friendly fiddle tune with a catchy hook - and you can speed it up for a dizzying challenge!

This one is pure fun! Fast, furious, tuneful and dance-inducing! A great, lighthearted way to bring variety to a concert program.
Polka dots are silly and fun; and in the opinion of the composer, so are polkas. In this new millennium, where kids’ lives are consumed by computers and the internet, it seemed appropriate to try and merge these ideas together. The fun, dance-like material and the use of extra techniques (such as col legno, pizzicato, strumming) lead the players and listeners into an enjoyable polka fit for the twenty-first century.
