43129	PEER GYNT: Morning (Full Orchestra) ME

33625	Professor Wigstein's Amazing Melody Machine (String Orchestra) M
	This fun and original piece for string orchestra is a great introduction to the technique of 'tone painting'. It depicts inventor Professor Wigstein’s proud creation—a machine that plays some of the world’s most famous melodies: 'Ode to Joy', 'Eine Klein Nachtmusik', 'Can-Can', and Chopin's Funeral March. The introduction depicts the ceremonious unveiling of the amazing machine. With four turns of its crank, the machine comes to life, grinding and churning as it prepares to produce a melody. 'Ode to Joy' is heard, played pizzicato by the entire orchestra, and appropriately accompanied by generic 'machine' sounds (ratchet and bell). Soon, the machine winds down, and the melody comes to a halt. Once again, the machine is cranked, and begins working at another tune; 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' is heard. The machine winds down again, only to be cranked up a third time for Offenbach’s 'Can-Can'. Midway through the tune, however, something goes wrong with the machine. Fragments of all three melodies are heard (in a variety of clashing keys) as the machines goes out of control, eventually exploding. A few hisses, and some dying moans are emitted. Finally, Chopin’s 'Funeral March' is heard as the machine plays its own death knoll, dying with a final soft hiss.
33169	Radetzky March (Full Orchestra) ME
	A perfect setting of this festive piece! Get the audience involved and carry on the great tradition of clapping and stomping along with the music. Just right for the early full orchestra experience.
35683	Remote Control (String Orchestra) M
	What if you could control the performance of a live orchestra with a remote control? That's the idea behind this hilarious new novelty piece. With the click of a switch (or, in this case, the sound of a bell), the orchestra switches from piece to piece in mid-phrase. Listen as 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' changes to 'Beethoven's Seventh' to 'Stars and Stripes Forever' and back again! Your audience will love it as they 'surf' channels, including brief stops at the 'Opera' channel and the 'Sci-Fi' channel! This remote even has a 'pause' button that freezes the orchestra, and a 'mute' button that keeps them playing, but with no sound! Great fun for everyone!
33843	REQUIEM: Pie Jesu (String Orchestra) M

33994	Rigaudon (STRING EXPLORER) (String Orchestra) ME
	The rigaudon is a popular French dance of the 17th century that has become a favorite of composers in all time periods (Grieg included one in his famous Holberg Suite). This rigaudon—one of Purcell’s most famous melodies—has been arranged for first- and second-year orchestras as their first encounter with the key of C major. The changes in dynamics and the stylistic variations make this one an outstanding teaching vehicle. The melody is constantly passed from instrument to instrument, training students to listen for the 'tune,' making them much better ensemble players. A perfect concert-opener or festival/contest piece!
35035	Rosamunde Overture (Full Orchestra) ME
	Schubert composed his incidental music to the Romantic drama 'Rosamunde, Princess of Cypress' in less than three weeks, finishing just two days before the play's premiere in December of 1823. Not much time was left to rehearse the music, and no time at all to compose an overture. In fact, Schubert never did compose an overture to 'Rosamunde', but instead used an overture already composed for the drama 'The Magic Harp'. While the drama 'Rosamunde, Princess of Cypress' survived for only two performances, Schubert's charming music lives on. Festive and lyrical themes abound in this very playable arrangement that has been carefully crafted to preserve the sound of the original. A great way to introduce your students to one of the early Romantic period's great masters!

Great for fostering section pride and a big hit at a recruiting concert, this piece also satisfies the important and greatly overlooked need in student ensemble music of giving every student a chance to play melody and show off.

Commissioned for the Albuquerque Youth Symphony for their performance at the 2008 National ASTA Conference, this piece combines an original theme followed by three Hispanic folk songs, 'Don Simon', 'Valse de Cadena' and 'A La Ru' each featuring various sections. First presented in 3/4 time and reprised in 4/4, the theme is a four note musical spelling of the city name using the notes ABEE and builds to an exciting finish.
33902	Spring Breezes (folk song from Taiwan) (String Orchestra) ME
	This very creative setting of an extremely popular Taiwanese folk song has been designed to help the student orchestra develop a sensitive, lyrical style.

33152	Symphony No. 39: Minuetto (Full Orchestra) ME

35513	Yuletide Rag, The (String Orchestra) M
	What would it sound like if Scott Joplin had written 'Jingle Bells?' Your students and audience will find out when they hear this delightful holiday piece in ragtime style.
