Not to be confused with the nautical term Ahoy!, the phrase All hands hoay! actually means all hands on deck for some serious work! In other words, string players, it's time to get those fingers moving with this simple, rugged, and modal seafaring melody. Written in the often-inaccessible key of F-sharp natural minor, this fun musical pirate's tale will have your students' little fingers stretching nonstop. The melody is evenly passed around, with a middle section featuring your violas and a jaunty contrapuntal ending. Younger orchestras will have a blast with this exciting original, All Hands Hoay! by Anthony Granata, as they get right down to work! (1:40) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

For a special touch at your next concert, feature one of Canada's most popular folk songs. Often sung to keep time while canoeing or around campfires, the lyrics are originally from a 19th century poem by First Nations poet Pauline Johnson, making this perfect for cross-cultural study.

In keeping with the efforts of developing a curriculum that fosters Comprehensive Musicianship, this string orchestra arrangement of three of the most popular Renaissance madrigals, will provide your students with a peak into this period of music history that is frequently overlooked. Now Is the Month of Maying, Sing We and Chant It, both by Thomas Morley, and Fair Phyllis, by John Farmer, are basic choral repertoire found in most high school and college full SATB and madrigal ensembles. The string ensemble may perform the arrangement alone with the added Renaissance style percussion. Or, better yet, why not enhance the performance by adding an SATB chorus thereby sharing the stage with your school's most advanced choral ensemble?

Feature your magnificent violas in this Western-flavored section feature that will give your unsung heroes a chance to show off a variety of playing styles. The piece is divided into three distinct parts---a heroic opening theme, a rousing and flashy fiddle melody, and a beautifully flowing legato section. Easy to put together and fun for every section, this is a wonderful way to introduce your audience (and the rest of your string orchestra) to the wide variety of timbres this too-often neglected instrument can achieve. Great for recruiting concerts! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
