2023-26 releases - playing catchup!

I really need to get better at this - another couple of years sail by and I haven't told you what's new around here! I guess there's a saying, “Everything old is new again”…let's go with that.

There are 4 pieces to feature from the last few years - it's been a bit slow in composing-world lately, but I'm putting the foot down this year so there will be more coming very soon. A range of levels and points of inspiration, hopefully you'll find something here that helps you or a colleague.

2022 New Releases, now available!

My goodness, how did it get to 2022? I think we've all spent the last 2 years in survival mode, but now it's time to get out & thrive with some fresh new music!

Our newest release offers some spark for older or more advanced groups. "Dark Sea Dances" was inspired by a fun activity in a composer's Facebook group - three lists of words, you pick one word from each list & it gives you the name of a piece! I found "Dark Sea Dances" & thought that was too good to pass up, although I did sit on it for a few…

2018 New Releases!!

Welcome to 2018! Each new year bring new possibilities, and one of those possibilities is that your students might *love* orchestra this year. Fresh, new music is a great way to keep the buzz alive in your group.

We are releasing 2 titles this year, "Tango" at Grade 2.5 level, and "Sixteen Snippets" at a Grade 0.5 level. Tango is a traditional tango containing all the rhythms & modulations you'd expect, which means there are the challenges of B flats & F naturals over a steady and predictable Tango…

2017 Release String Orchestra titles in store today!

It's a new year, and that always means at least one good thing - new music! And we have some fantastic new titles available for you from today.

"Tarantella", a frenzied dance in 6/8 time, suits an emerging intermediate level string orchestra. It requires high 3rd fingers from the violins & violas and extended 4th fingers from the cellos for quite a bit of the piece, so a good one to get students' hands opening up and consolidating those shapes.

"Introduction & Theme from Witches' Dance" is an arrangement of…
