Eight Varied Pieces For Orchestra-Three new collections of varied pieces for orchestra for players from beginner to grade 3 standard.This collection of three books each containing eight varied pieces has been compiled to capture the imagination of young players and to introduce them to a wide range of musical styles.Special effects appropriate to each instrument provide additional learning points and great entertainment both in rehearsal and performance. There are glissandos for strings and trombone flutter tonguing for flute and trumpets (for those able to) and a range of vocal sounds for all!The scoring allows these pieces to be played by variouscombinations of instruments. Ideally your orchestra should have some instruments from each section but if not (for example no brass) then the supplementary piano part (available separately) can be used to fill the gaps. It can also be used to provide extra support in rehearsals.As well as the normal percussion parts some of the pieces make use of a drum kit. For orchestras without a drum kit player a drum kit and bass backing track is available to download free of charge either as MP3 or WAV files.OrchestrationDescant recorder Treble recorder Flute 1 Flute 2 or Oboe Clarinet 1 Clarinet 2 Alto Sax Bassoon Horn in F Horn in Eb Trumpet 1 Trumpet 2 Trombone (Bass clef) Trombone (Treble clef) Timpani Drum Kit Percussion 1 Percuission 2 Percussion 3.Strings (Violin 1 Violin 2 Violin 3 Viola Cello Bass)Orchanics 2 contains:-Marching through Mud (Richard Ling); When I was a lad (from HMS Pinafore); Ghost Ride (Richard Ling); Largo (Dvorak); Battle Zone (Richard Ling); Persian March (J Strauss II); Lazy Horse (Richard Ling); Good King Wenceslas.

Joseph Addison is not particularly well known; he was English a classical scholar essayist poet and politician but one of his hymns was used by Benjamin Britten. in his setting of a Thomas Tallis canon.The hymn is singularly beautiful and being a composer always inspired by extramusical stimuli such as poems nature paintings I was immediately convinced when I carne across the Addison hymn that here was exactly what I wanted to use as my major source of inspiration for this piece commissioned by and written for The Berlin Philharmonic.

From the composer of Festival of Carols and The Winter Rose comes a cantata that celebrates the legacy of early American carols and hymnody. Composed in the spirit of folk music the cantata combines traditionalsounds with more rustic elements creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away In a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals such as Children GoWhere I Send Thee and Go Tell It on the Mountain. Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies.
