This is a modernization of the Ragtime style in a wonderful new original piece by composer Matt Turner. Matt works his magic time and time again to provide string orchestras with fun pieces that present more popular music styles. Although classical music is important to the string orchestra idiom, it is also beneficial for students to be exposed to and have fun with other styles. Matt has made this his mission and we are proud to have another great vehicle for you to introduce the truly American style Ragtime with this new piece.

The title Lucky Seven is a play on the fact that portions of this piece are in 7/8 time grouped in 2+2+3. It gives it a really fresh groove as the piece floats in and out of this 7/8 riff into regular 4/4 time. There is even a nice solo section with a sample solo if some of your students want to take a stab at improvisation. Matt Turner always provides teachers with interesting alternative music that can teach students how to groove and improvise. This is an infectious piece that students will like to play.
Lucky Seven is in arch form (ABCBA). The A-section begins in and moves to a pop-music feel in the B- section (m. 21). An Afro-Cuban tumba bass-line figure is introduced in the C-section (m. 33). A sample solo (m. 53) is provided, but soloists are encouraged to improvise using an A-Mixolydian mode (A, B, C≥, D, E, F≥, G, A). The improvisations should be rhythmic. Feel free to borrow ideas from any of the composed material to assist in creating the improvisations. Perform with energy!

Zydeco Zephyr combines elements of zydeco and bluegrass. Zydeco is a combination of many styles including Cajun, blues, and rock, and is known for its use of accordion, fiddle, and washboard. The first section of Zydeco Zephyr is influenced by doo-wop, a style zydeco musician Clifton Chenier used in his songs. The cellos introduce the second section with a “train” groove in m. 27. A solo section offers students the opportunity to improvise using a D mixolydian mode (D, E, F≥, G, A, B, C, D), and a sample solo is provided. This piece uses straighteighths (no swing!) and should be performed with a great deal of energy. Who knows, you may just make people in the audience get up and dance!Suggested listening: Clifton Chenier, King of the Bayous on Arhoolie Records.
