In the dim moonlight on a night long past a rider emerges from the fog and slowly dares to cross a mysterious and unsettling bridge. The trembling rider hesitates, unsure whether he is more nervous about the legend of the headless horseman or the creaking and shifting he feels under his own horse's hooves. Haunted Bridges is a work for string orchestra inspired by Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane and his ill-fated ride in Sleepy Hollow. The piece contains allusions to the tune London Bridge is Falling Down, first as a creeping counter-melody and later as a theme in a twisted 3/4 section whose shifting harmonic progression draws to mind the fall of the fabled bridge. Haunted Bridges contains alternating F/C sharps and naturals throughout and devilishly unpredictable harmonic patterns. The piece also calls for numerous extended techniques that students will enjoy, including playing behind the bridge, sul ponticello, portamento, and seagull glissandi. Special techniques: Haunted Bridges calls for a handful of extended techniques, most of which are self explanatory or commonly known. The technique appearing in the Violin II part from measures 58-72 may require some additional explanation. This figure is sometimes referred to as seagull glissando and is achieved by lightly touching the finger to the string and gliding up and down the string, producing many transient natural harmonics as the finger crosses the nodes of the string. It is suggested to start with the 3rd finger on the A string and slowly glissando up beyond the natural A harmonic, then slowly back down, continuing in this pattern until measure 73. It is also intended for each player to vary their speed slightly so that the timing of the glissandi are all a little different, resulting in a shimmering, aleatoric effect.

At night you see the moon up in the sky shining in silver color. The radiance is both beautiful and tranquil. Although in triple time, Silver Moon sort of feels like it is in duple time with the combination of a half note and a quarter note. The third beat should be lighter, like Baroque dance music. It is more about a feeling so that the music sounds more natural and smooth. The work consists of three sections. The first and the third have a main theme with a repeated pattern of harmonic progressions. During the second part each melody sings more like a dialogue. The optional piano part adds to the special quality of the song.

Journ ey to the southern part of Spain where remnants of Moorish and Middle Eastern culture are found, along with traditional Flamenco music. These sounds, melodies and harmonies are used in an almost constant motion with animated and accented rhythms throughout. From the opening measures, these elements leap off the page.

The classic Christmas carol is given a delightful new treatment from composer Sean O'Loughlin. Everything you need in a holiday concert selection, plus the opportunity to teach a lot of music in the process. In this arrangement, the composer brings a non-traditional, updated feel to a traditional holiday carol. Duration: 2:43.
In this arrangement of Christmas is Coming, I employ some nontraditional feels to a normally traditional holiday carol. It is a brief theme and variations that your students will both enjoy and be able to learn some important musical concepts.After a rather straight forward presentation of the melody to start with, the piece then begins the variations at m. 16. A canonic treatment follows at m. 28 that also provides a teaching opportunity for independent playing. The celli and basses add an off beat rhythmic accompaniment too. A pizzicato treatment follows at m. 42 with some additional rhythm and counting challenges to keep the performers on their toes. We move the key up to D major at m. 56 and add the melody of Joy to the World simultaneously. After trading these two melodies back and forthbetween the upper and lower strings, the ensemble comes together at m. 70. The first violin part at m. 77 should be a dramatic dynamic contrast and sound like an echo. Then bring the ensemble back for a rousing end.

A perky piece in A minor that calls for a staccato touch in Section A. The crossover, root position minor triads in Section B use the damper pedal creating an eerie suspense. It's a good piece for performance---feels good under the hands and easy to memorize.
