This delightful waltz gives your performers and audience the feeling of a lovely ride on an old-time carousel. As you circle around, the carousel horse gently moves up and down to the soothing music. The piece then moves to a melancholy theme as the ride is coming to an end. A stunning new piece for developing string orchestras.

Be transported to the wide-open spaces of a beautiful vista overlooking a canyon. Containing open intervals reminiscent of composers like Copland that have become part of the “American sound,” Sean O’Loughlin brings a strong motivic approach throughout this work with a gentle waltz feel giving us a strong piece for younger students.

Written as a follow-up to composer Tyler Arcari’s widely popular work Acidic, Alkaline takes an ironically less “basic” approach in this accessible work for developing string orchestras. The introduction features a clever ostinato pattern that will transport you to the cinema, great parts for the Basses and Cellos, as well as a lush harmonic section make Alkaline a hit!

An axiom is a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true. Make your orchestra sound mature with this bold piece that includes fanfare gestures, strong themes and contrasting lyrical music. A strong choice for festival performance.

Arranged by Larry Clark
Imagine, if you will, if Bach decided to infuse popular Christmas carols into the fabric of his famous Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. That is the idea behind this arrangement, to seamlessly meld together the popular carols by arranging them in the style of this famous Bach work. Composer/arranger Larry Clark has done it again!
