Adventure hides in the shadows of a mysterious island that lies far beyond the horizons of the sea. This simple, yet dramatic piece uses only the first 6 notes of the D and G Major scales along with easy combinations of eighth, quarter, and half notes. Urgent rhythms build alongside echoing melodic lines to create anticipation and energize this work for beginning players, who will love the dark minor tonality.

A solid piece in a processional style by noted composer Joseph Compello, Horizons is both melodic and engaging. The work has a strong lyrical line that is beautifully blended with an enchanting pizzicato section. This helps to augment the driving pulse th.The processional style of Horizons will be ideal for young string ensembles which are seeking a more serious style of music but which are not yet capable of performing at a brisk tempo. Older groups, however, should not perform this piece at a fast pace, otherwise the processional feel will be lost.The articulation throughout should be marcato except where otherwise marked. A light staccato touch is required in the accompaniment beginning at bar 11. Very young ensembles always need guidance in performing accents and loud dynamics tastefully.At m. 20, the cellos have a countermelody which is separate from the bass part. If the ensemble does not have basses, the part may be covered on the piano. At m. 45, the cellos have optional notes to allow extra time to prepare for pizzicato. Likewise at m. 53, cues are included for violin 2, viola and cello to allow time to prepare for arco.The effectiveness of the final section beginning at m. 71 should be played as broadly as possible. The 100 tempo is a suggestion.Performance time with the repeat is just under three minutes.Thank you for choosing this composition. I hope you and your students enjoy performing it.- Joseph CompelloGlen Arm, Maryland, 2005.

Here is the perfect alternative for Pomp and Circumstance. It is much easier on the orchestra and everyone plays the melody. All parts shift and use chromatic fingerings, and there is great opportunity to work on dotted rhythms and hooked bowings. The optional timpani part and ample number of repeats allows for incredible flexibility.

If Copland had written for easy level strings, it would have been something like this. There's a wide open sound here, thanks to the rich writing that includes open strings, open fifths, simple harmonics and just the right amount of silence. Very nicely done!

A rousing concert ender, this work will challenge all sections with a wide range (every part shifts), running passage work, trills, and syncopated rhythms. The B section, a lyric waltz theme, shows off the principal players with extended solos. The return of the A section superimposes the waltz melody on the original syncopated theme for a wonderful conclusion.
