Invasion! Surprise! Be on your guard in this exciting piece for aspiring young players. With an intense focus on the quaver & two semiquavers rhythm combined with lyrical lines & harmonics, students will explore a variety of techniques and sound colours.

"Drought" for String Orchestra, by Alison Harbottle https://youtu.be/L8eNuDpwW3I

Grade: 4 Duration: 5'26"

While this piece doesn’t appear difficult on the surface, the challenge here lies in the ensemble work. Full of effects and unusual harmonics, Drought brings to mind images of baking plains and still summer days. Opening with a viola solo, the viola section states the melody first and then passes it around, even briefly to the basses. Take plenty of time, there’s no need to rush the tempo, make lots of space to create a still feeling.

"Variations on a Sea Shanty" for String Orchestra, by Alison Harbottle

Grade: 2 Duration: 2'57"

Based on the old Sea Shanty “What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?”, this piece offers experience and consolidation of selected elementary bowings, mixed with the fun of harmonics both in 1st & 4th positions. The piano plays a supporting role and is not essential to a full performance. Similarly, the piece can be played without double basses if necessary without loss of the bass line.

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.

“Fantasy on Waltzing…
