Excelcia Music Publishing’s String Orchestra New Release Tells A Story

Lakeland, Florida (April 19, 2023) Story driven works with real-world relatability are featured in this year’s String Orchestra Music 2023-2024 new release from Excelcia Music Publishing. With pieces from many beloved, well-known composers as well as talented newer voices, the new works are written specifically to teach while at the same time are fun and engaging. Orchestra Directors will find sophisticated works from the earliest to the highest grade levels. The new release has something for every concert in each grade level, be it for Holiday or Spring Concerts, for Festival and more. As it has done in prior years, the publisher’s 2023-2024 release includes live professional recordings and ScoreVideos of each piece, as well as unique Composer Insights videos, all of which can be used for easy review by directors as well as for tools with students.

“The Excelcia Music Publishing Orchestra catalog this year is full of wonderful new works from passionate composers that tell unique and meaningful stories and aim to provide a wonderful educational experience to students and audiences,” said Tyler Arcari, Director of Music Production and Editing.

The publisher’s 2023-2024 String Orchestra release includes new pieces from composers and arrangers Tyler Arcari, Larry Clark, Erica Donahoe, Katie O’Hara LaBrie, Caryn Wiegand Neidhold, Yukiko Nishimura, Sean O’Loughlin, Steve Parsons and Matthew R. Putnam. The publisher welcomes composer Laura Estes to its orchestra catalog this year.

Each score, and its accompanying parts, are meticulously-edited and beautifully set for ease of reading and include unique features to increase accessibility and help facilitate efficient rehearsals. Optional bowings have been carefully selected, and optional percussion parts have been added to certain pieces to provide an additional layer to the orchestra’s sound. Published in Excelcia Music Publishing’s signature color-coded series, the string orchestra music follows the strict and consistent six-part grading system: Prelude (grade .5), Da Capo (grade 1), Harmony (grade 1.5), Intermezzo (grade 2 to 2.5), Rhapsody (grade 3 to 3.5) and Maestro (grade 4 and up).

Excelcia Music Publishing’s 2023-2024 String Orchestra music is available from music retailers and from the publisher.
