String teachers are always trying to encourage their students to play with more bow. Composer Joseph Compello gives very beginning students the chance to do just that in his piece,?Arco-ology. There is an opportunity for all sections of the orchestra to showcase their developing musicality in this fun and short piece.
Arco-ology is designed for string groups with less than one year of instruction. The music should be performed in a manner which evokes a march-like style. Bowing style is at the discretion of the director, but the bowing and articulation should convey a feel of steady, forward movement. At m. 41, the lower strings will carry the tune. The upper strings must provide a rhythmic accompaniment at this point without overpowering the melody..

Tyshawn Sorey describes his piece For Marcos Balter for violin and orchestra as a non-certo, a single-movement work that rejects the conventionally heroic and virtuosic role of the concerto soloist in favor of a more continuous, yet less dominant presence alongside the ensemble. A tribute to the Sorey's friend and colleague Marcos Balter, the US-based Brazilian composer, the 38-minute piece was commissioned jointly by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra with assistance from the ARCO Collaborative. For Marcos Balter received its world premiere from the Detroit Symphony and soloist Jennifer Koh in November 2020, with Xian Zhang conducting.

This full score is available for purchase as part of the Peters Contemporary Library and features extensive performance notes, with solo and orchestral parts available on hire.

English comments:
Cinc cops d'arc fonamentals is a work inspired in the five bow knocks which the French pedagogue G. Catherine considers essential in his violin method Etude du mecanisme de l'archet. It is since the fifties that I know this method and the quality of those five studies-exercises has always attracted my attention, not only for its efficient technique but mainly for its melodious line as well as its harmonious subtlety. I always thought in enriching this material, so that a string ensemble could use it as a work of its repertory. --Jordi Cervello

Desde los anos cincuenta conozco este metodo y siempre me he sentido atraido por la calidad de estos cinco estudios-ejercicios, no solo por su eficacia tecnica sino sobre todo por la originalidad de su linea melodica asi como por la sutileza armonica. Siempre pense en enriquecer este material para que un conjunto de cuerdas pudiera beneficiarse con una obra de caracter pedagogico. --Jordi Cervello.

This exciting paso doble is named for the famous Arch of Los Cabos found at the southernmost tip of the Baja California Peninsula. This natural stone arch is a landmark where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet. Commissioned for the Five-States Honor Band in Guymon, Oklahoma, this work features bold brass statements contrasted with lyrical woodwind lines and dynamic Latin percussion reinforcement. El Arco de Los Cabos is destined to become a paso doble standard in contemporary band literature. Great contest or concert opener/closer!
