H/E PERFORMANCE MUSIC / GRADE 2–3

Falconer
By Doug Spata
Perfect for young orchestras, this piece features simple eighthnote
ostinatos; dramatic melodies; and a bold, cinematic
sound. Rhythmic independence is limited, and the notes are on
the D and A strings (G string for bass), but the piece retains a
mature style. (1:49)
(00-47467) ............................................................................$49.00
Mama Don’t Allow
American Folk Song / arr. Renata Bratt
Students will really enjoy playing and singing this old-timey tune
that has roots in early New Orleans-style jazz. In 1st position
throughout, this piece features rhythmic syncopation. This upbeat
piece with great lyrics is a complete crowd pleaser. (2:54)
(00-47469) ............................................................................$49.00
Ante Meridian
By Todd Parrish
Inspired by a painting of the same name, this engaging work
features memorable rhythmic patterns of sixteenth notes, flatkey
fingerings, and varied articulations. The original painting
evokes the awesome, eternal nature of the sea. Imagine
crashing waves! (2:56)
(00-47466) ............................................................................$49.00
Legend of the Ghost Stallion
By Richard Meyer
An eerie, shivery setting of “All the Pretty Little Horses” opens
this ode to the Wild West. Brief solos for violin, viola, and
cello are included. The driving, galloping rhythm (eighth/two
sixteenths) of the Ghost Stallion running through the moonlit
countryside will reinforce bowing skills. (3:58)
(00-47470) ............................................................................$49.00
The Monster Named Stretch
By Anthony Granata
Written in the eerie key of F-sharp natural minor that kids
love, this sound defines our scary monster called “Stretch.”
With slow and fast passages, a jaunty pizzicato section, and a
forceful coda, every section will be challenging. (2:41)
(00-47471) .............................................................................$49.00
Legacy
Celebrating the Past, while Creating the Future
By Bob Phillips
With lovely harmonies and surprising melodic and mood
changes, this piece will be perfect for festivals and to bring any
concert to a rousing close. Featuring a wide variety of settings
in one piece means teaching opportunities abound. (4:24)
(00-47472) ............................................................................$56.00
