Featuring string quartet and orchestra, this tour de force follows a few straggling Irish musicians (the quartet) who find themselves in a junkyard picking up scrap instruments. As the quartet begins to find their groove, they are joined by the rest of the orchestra and the party is on! While not based on a specific folksong, the piece draws on elements ranging from a traditional pub band to Irish stepdance. So much fun, and playable on acoustic or electric instruments!

Let your bass section shine and groove in this upbeat medley of funk, swing and good ol' fashioned rock 'n' roll! Opportunities for improvisation are included (with written parts as well) and an optional drum set part really adds to the flair. While the basses show off, the other sections of the orchestra also experience the contagious rhythms and melodies as they get down and rock out. An absolute showstopper!

This fast swing piece in G minor is playfully sneaky! With a catchy, singable tune, this work features a tutti pizzicato section, as well as some melodic moments for bass and celli. All parts remain in first position, with a couple of "funky" accidentals thrown in for fun. The swing-eighth feel keeps the mood appropriately shadowy!
