Lewis has also produced a soundtrack from composer Harry Gregson-Williams that is dramatic sensitive and engaging. Larry Moore has arranged some of the best moments from the film into a well-paced medley for string orchestra that will have great appeal to student players.

Note by the composer:'Triple Quartet is for string quartet and two pre-recorded quartets, or three live string quartets with no pre-recording. The piece is in three movements, fast-slow-fast, and is organized harmonically on four dominant chords in minor keys a minor third apart: E minor, G minor, Bb minor, C# minor and then returning to E minor to form a cycle.The first movement goes through this harmonic cycle twice with a section about one minute long on each of the four dominat chords. The result is a kind of variation form. Rhythmically the first movement has the second and third quartet playing interlocking chords while the first quartet plays longer melodies in canon between the first violin and viola against the second violin and cello. The slow movement is more completely contrapuntal with a long slow melody in canon eventually in all 12 voices. It stays in E minor throughout. The third movement resumes the original fast tempo, maintains the harmonic chord cycle but modulates back and forth between keys more rapidly. The final section of the movement is in the initial key of E minor and there the piece finally cadences.? Steve Reich, 1999 / Orchestre A Cordes

A response to Schubert's String Quintet in C (D956) this work highlights the added bass sonority provided by the second cello. It is a single movement work and explores ideas of fragmentation refraction and distortion.

Victoria Maesta-Muffat pupil of Lully and Corelli composed his concerto ?Victoria Maesta? (?Sad Victory?) in 1689 as organist and chamber musician in the court of the archbishop of Salzburg. The title refers to the taking of Belgrad during which the archbishop?s brother was killed in 1688; therefore the piece begins with a solemn funeral march in C minor in elaborate and artistic contrapuntal technique in the sense of Corelli?s adagio type.

Long known for his inventive teaching pieces Lloyd Conley has devised a clever tune to introduce tetrachords to beginning players. The special notation along with the approachable use of meter (3/4 and 4/4) and keys (G and C)make this a great connector to the math of music. Dur: 2:00
