Maiden's Rescue, in D Major, includes note and rest values limited to quarter notes/rests, half notes, and whole rests. It can be successfully performed at a range of tempos, depending on the experience level of the orchestra. Rather than writing for 1st and 2nd violins, this piece features a single violin part.

Jeremy Woolstenhulme composed this work for his beginning string orchestra. He decided that it should be a programmatic work accompanied by a short story and artwork. Once students became comfortable with the music and story, Mr. Woolstenhulme assigned an art project to them! Some samples of their work are printed in this publication. Connecting music, creative writing, and visual arts strengthened the entire experience and students definitely enjoyed the process. Approx. time - 2:00

Dominion is a composition for the developing band that captures emotions during the time of war. The term dominion is often used in history to describe British rule, and in science fiction, t is used to describe certain ruling factions in space. Either way, a call to action is necessary to preserve the dominion's rule. Sean O'Loughlin taps into the student's love for forceful, cinematic-type music with this exceptional piece.
