Here's a lighter number that's ideal for pops concerts, multicultural events, or any time you want to program a little Latin music into your concerts!  Calling for optional percussion part of guiro, this music features a syncopated melody that uses lots of "off-the-string" bowing.  It's sure to make your strings produce a clean, crisp sound.

Pay tribute to the Greek muse of dance, Terpsichore, with this lively jig in G minor. Upper strings have the opportunity to shift to third position and stay there to play the main theme. Cellos are the most active shifters, using second, third, and fourth positions, and even the bass section will bounce around! An original work with a distinctly Celtic sound and feel, it's a kid-friendly fiddle tune with a catchy hook - and you can speed it up for a dizzying challenge!

This one is pure fun! Fast, furious, tuneful and dance-inducing! A great, lighthearted way to bring variety to a concert program.
Polka dots are silly and fun; and in the opinion of the composer, so are polkas. In this new millennium, where kids’ lives are consumed by computers and the internet, it seemed appropriate to try and merge these ideas together. The fun, dance-like material and the use of extra techniques (such as col legno, pizzicato, strumming) lead the players and listeners into an enjoyable polka fit for the twenty-first century.

This spirited, high energy work encompasses all the attitude expressed in its title! The orchestra's true personality shines as it moves between technical off-the-string passages and soaring melodies. Combine that with syncopated rhythmic ideas and one can see why the title is so fitting. As playful as the title is, this certainly is not a novelty piece - it is a technical, yet extremely playable showcase for your orchestra.
