An all-time favorite from the Monkees has endured for five decades this version from Larry Moore sends the train right out to country fiddle land. Great fun that can also feature a fiddlin' duet and an optional keyboard/synth/banjo part.

The introduction imitates the sound of a train coming down the tracks. The piece maintains the same energy level throughout and all parts are given interesting material. Along with an added optional violin 3 (viola) part the piano adds some color that does not appear in the string parts to help fill out the ensemble sound. All aboard! (1:42)

In this piece a solo (for the first violin) runs parallel to a trio (violin viola cello) but is independent in metre speed and style. The title is from Foucault: 'Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by virtue of multiple forms of constraint.' The work was commissioned in 1997 for the Kreutzer Quartet.

The Great Western is as title suggests, an evocation of trains. It is another fun piece, with much emphasis on triplets and chromatics: Music Teacher Magazine / Orchestre A Cordes

These three short chorales (G major, G minor, G major) are excellent warm-up exercises, but would also be very useful for training ensembles to listen for pure intonation. Vibrato and tone quality could also be focused upon, as well as watching the conductor for pauses and upbeats. Dynamics are suggested to assist with the shaping of phrases. Each chorale can stand alone, as a processional or recessional for special occasions and ceremonies, such as assemblies or parades, or can be performed as one work. Independent reading and accurate counting are essential here. Bowing can also be adjusted if desired. / Orchestre A Cordes
