DEVELOPING STRINGS • GRADE 2
STORM SURGE
Seth Gamba Gr. 2
As energetic and exhilarating as a fast-moving storm, Storm Surge catapults your
orchestra to the foreground. You’ll want to review hooked bowings, some
chromatic fingerings and extensions, and some dotted-quarter-note rhythms, but
all in all the work is the ideal grade 2 fire-breathing opener or closer.

TANGLED TANGO
Steven L. Rosenhaus Gr. 2½
Don’t get your fingers tangled in the chromatic fingerings of this exciting tango!
Alternating arco and pizzicato makes things even more interesting (plus some
hooked bowings for the fun of it). Everyone gets the melody, with the exception
of the basses, who are kept occupied laying down the tango groove.

CONCERT STRINGS • GRADE 3
Perfect for community string orchestras and high school ensembles of an intermediate level, these editions can be easily recognized by the
purple cover design. Publications in our StringMasters series have been edited for difficulty and/or abridged for length to make them
accessible to a wider range of performers, while retaining the essence of the original.
ARTIST MARCH
Felix Mendelssohn, arr. Lynne Latham Gr. 3
Here is the perfect alternative for Pomp and Circumstance. It is
much easier on the orchestra and everyone plays the melody. All
parts shift and use chromatic fingerings, and there are opportunities
to work on dotted rhythms and hooked bowings. The optional
timpani part and ample repeats allow for incredible flexibility.

ANDANTE CANTABILE (from Symphony No. 5)
Peter I. Tchaikovsky, arr. Lynne Latham Orch. Gr. 3 • Solos Gr. 4
This affords a wonderful opportunity to feature section leaders
and to teach the orchestra restraint and quality tone production.
Solo violin, viola, and cello cover the soaring woodwind lines of
the original composition. The key has been changed to C Major
to make reading accidentals more reasonable for students.

FEEL THE FIRE
Catherine McMichael Gr. 3
Intense drive, impulsive rhythms, and an unrelenting intensity
make this a must for every grade 3 string orchestra. The piano is
essential, everyone shares in melodic performance, and the
exuberance of shouts and foot stomps send this over the top.
