About This Collection
Description
FJH's string orchestra collection spans accessible arrangements and original compositions for groups at all levels. Voyager by Soon Hee Newbold and Impulse by Brian Balmages are fixtures in school programs, while newer additions like Fantasy on a Chinese Theme by Francis Osentowski and Overture and Bourree by Bob Lipton give you fresh material for concerts and festivals. You'll find works rooted in folk traditions alongside light concert pieces, masterwork arrangements, and holiday pops selections.
Highlights
Teachers return consistently to Voyager and Viking by Soon Hee Newbold, which balance musicality with manageable technical demands at grades 2 and 2.5. Brian Balmages' Impulse and Burst! are equally popular, with Impulse landing at grade 0.5 for younger ensembles and Burst! at grade 1.5, making them reliable choices for building repertoire across skill levels.
Recently added
Bob Lipton's Overture and Bourree (from Il Pastor Fido) arrived in April 2026, and Francis Osentowski's Fantasy on a Chinese Theme and Charles E. Carryl's A Capital Ship both published in March give you fresh concert and multicultural options.
Composer Spotlight
Soon Hee Newbold brings decades of world travel and cultural study to her compositions, creating works that feel both globally informed and immediately accessible to student ensembles. Her Voyager and Viking titles are among the most widely adopted in this collection.
Brian Balmages is a prolific voice across all ensemble types, from professional orchestras to elementary groups. His works balance sophisticated musical ideas with technical clarity, making Impulse and Burst! natural choices for developing orchestras.
Carrie Lane Gruselle teaches elementary and middle strings in Wisconsin while holding both bachelor's and master's degrees in music education with Suzuki emphasis. Her Finale from Serenade for Strings demonstrates how classroom experience informs compositional choices for student musicians.
Bob Lipton brings 19 years of middle school orchestra teaching in Silicon Valley directly into his writing. His arrangements and original works reflect what actually works in rehearsal with developing ensembles, and his recent Dance of the Tumblers and Overture and Bourree show his continued output for this level.
