Taking its name from the epicenter of Southern jazz in Memphis, this fun little boogie will get the orchestra moving! Featuring accidentals and chromatic passages throughout, each section gets its turn at the jazzy, swaggering melodies as well as the bouncy accompaniment parts.

Have some toe-tapping fun with this rocking arrangement of Jolly Old St. Nicholas for Young String Orchestra. All sections get to play the melody, and students have the opportunity to practice easy chromatic finger patterns with foot stomps, finger snaps, and bass spins for added entertainment. Lots of bow retakes help students gain confidence playing near the frog, and jazzy accompaniments notated on the G string and A string (basses) will help develop reading skills. The optional piano and drum set parts add rhythmic support and festive spirit to a rocking holiday concert performance.

Students and audiences will enjoy the spooky-fun style and orchestra teachers will appreciate the technical and ensemble playing skills that the piece requires.

This tantalizing, two-page tarantella in E minor has the pedagogical purpose of reinforcing chromatic patterns and it's so much fun to play! The coloristic R.H. chromaticism is balanced by easier L.H. broken triads. It's a great recital piece for All Hallows' Eve (Halloween)¦the audience will be spellbound!

Clarinet and piano

SKU: P2.30122

Composed by Mike D'Ambrosio. Solo music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.30122).

Composer Mike D'Ambrosio says, Super Groove was commissioned by oboist Celeste Johnson Frehner (Oklahoma State University) and was premiered in April 2012. After I sent Celeste an early draft of the piece (about half done at that time), her first response was This is super groovy! and thus the title was born. For my part, I was trying to bring together my worlds as composer and music theory professor by taking some of the fun theory topics I get to teach (sonata form, chromatic mediants, ostinato, polyrhythms, and set theory) and squeezing them into a driving, energetic, and highly rhythmic texture. The piece is extremely fun to play and has been very well received by audiences..

A fun novelty piece that, without the script, becomes a perfect concert or festival selection! Two for one! This parody of a virtual rehearsal/concert can be performed live or virtually and is equally effective in providing humor or a way to frame a community-building discussion of the current learning situation for students. Feel free to adapt the script to your students. The energetic Stamitz arrangement features the first violins yet lies well for all sections and will go together well. It is a great review of chromatic alterations with a few in each part. Zoomies, a Virtual Concert featuring Sinfonia in D by Johann Stamitz and arranged by Bob Phillips is sure to be musically satisfying and fun!
