Crazy Train was co-written by one of Mark Wood's main influences and favorite guitar players, Randy Rhoads, a neo-classical rock guitar player. When Wood discovered him, Rhoads was fully entrenched in the standard rock/blues style, yet had wonderful control of the flourish and esthetic of classical music in his playing. The influence was perfect for Mark Wood, who was an up-and-coming rock violinist at the time. For string orchestra with optional rock rhythm section parts. (5:30)Download Play-Along Track

Dreams is one of the great Van Halen songs now transcribed for string orchestra. As a string player, I was enamored with Eddie Van Halen. He was a big influence on me while I was studying at Juilliard. I purposely lowered the key to A major for better playability. The tempo is brisk, yet very attainable. The upbeat and positive posture of this composition was a big attraction to me as a musician, and it was an honor for me to show great respect to the song and our string world! The play-along tracks feature my personal band! (4:35).

The Prague Symphony will sound different with the new Breitkopf Urtext material.
ISBN 9790004211656. 6.5 x 9 inches.
The present edition is the first since 1932 to be based on Mozarts autograph score. It reflects the conviction that his autograph scores represent not only the substance of his works, but also actual performances. A Fassung letzter Hand is scarcely possible.Cliff Eisen, one of the leading Mozart specialists of his generation, takes particular care in bringing his expert knowledge of contemporary performance practice into play when evaluating authentic part material. In the Prague Symphony, Eisen comes to surprising conclusions in a number of cases, such as the delicate matter of the division of the bassoons led col basso. Which of the low strings are they intended to play along with? When read properly, the sources provided a clear-cut answer.The Prague Symphony will sound different with the new Breitkopf Urtext material.

The traditional bolero is a moderately slow dance in triple meter which originated in late-18th century Spain. Since then it has spread to other countries and become transformed in the process. The Cuban bolero became a bit faster in tempo and duple in meter. In the U.S. it became a staple of competitive ballroom dancing, even faster and in 4/4 time. Maurice Ravel's Boléro for orchestra harkens back to the slower Spanish dance in three. Wood's Bolero by Mark Wood, on the other hand, focuses on the American version but maintains elements of the dance's origins and first iterations.

String Thang by Mark Wood is based on the twelve-bar blues. The blues has deep roots in American history, developed out of the work songs and chants of African-American slaves. The Great Migration of the first half of the 20th century saw freed slaves and their descendants move to northern and eastern parts of the U.S., taking their music with them. The blues took on different forms; in turn it helped to create rock, jazz, hip-hop, and other popular genres. A twelve-bar blues uses a repeating chord progression which allows musicians to express themselves creatively with each recurrence. If anything defines the blues, it is the use of blue notes---pitches that don't usually belong in a given key---and elements of improvisation. String Thang uses both blue notes in the main tune and the solo violin's part, as well as improvisational principles in the solo. For string orchestra with optional rock rhythm section parts.
