An imagined soundtrack to a high-stakes game of espionage... The music drifts between episodes of intense dissonance and brief moments of calm, allowing you to catch your breath before the chase continues once again. Relying heavily on rhythmic pulse and reinforcing rhythmic independence, this engaging work also offers plenty of opportunities to showcase dynamic contrast and really bring the excitement to a new level!

Exploring mature harmonies while a single note lingers throughout the entire work, this powerful piece will leave you breathless. Orchestrated for strings and piano, the music moves through a series of sections that become increasingly intense, all while the note G sounds nonstop from the first measure until the final chord. The haunting sound of voices (members of the ensemble) eventually fade into a soft hum before the music reaches is final chord and ultimate resolution. Simply stunning.

The dark sound of D minor along with the aggressive mood created by repeated down-bow strokes will surely motivate your students to practice. This is a great piece for teaching low 2nd finger, double stops (for all instruments except bass) and Bb's. Duration 1:50.

Summer Dance is a melodic, up-tempo piece with plenty of musical and technical challenges for every player. Musicians should strive to play it with an energetic yet legato feel. A spirited introduction features an opening melody in the violins and active repeated-note pedal patters in the violas and low strings. An AABA form begins at m.5 and the orchestration is immediately pared down to feature violin I and cello. It then builds again in density to the B section, where a quick dynamic drop allows a question-and-answer melody between the two parts to sing out. In m. 29, the melody is harmonized and a countermelody in violin I introduced. The violins take the melody soaring in octaves in m. 33, as the piece again builds to the B section and suddenly quiets. Measure 55 then provides more question-and-answer interplay, this time for viola and cello, while violin continues with its newly harmonized melody. Summer Dance finishes with a soft recurrence of the opening figure and a build toward a powerful divisi voicing on beat 3 of m. 63, right before the final chord.
