About This Collection
Description
This collection of 709 Grade 4+ orchestra scores spans string orchestras, full orchestras, and concert bands with a heavy emphasis on accessible, engaging repertoire for middle school ensembles. John Williams' Star Wars Epic Part II and Richard Meyer's Swamp Thang lead the way, but you'll find everything from masterwork arrangements and light concert pieces to programmatic works and novelty selections. Most titles sit at Grade 4, making this the workhorse catalog for directors programming concerts, festivals, and competitions.
Highlights
Teachers keep returning to Richard Meyer's Swamp Thang and Subterranean Dialogues, both Grade 4 string orchestra arrangements that hit the sweet spot between musicality and playability. Soon Hee Newbold's The Iliad and Brian Balmages' Moonlight Flight are also popular fixtures in contest and concert programs. John Williams' Star Wars Epic Part II rounds out the top tier for ensembles wanting film music that doesn't sacrifice orchestral depth.
Recently added
New titles just published include A Hundred Horizons and Moonlight Flight by Brian Balmages, Prairie Fire! and Danza Fuoco by Kirt Mosier, Mt. Everest by Rossano Galante, and The Mile-Tall River Wall by John Williams. All are Grade 4 string or full orchestra works aimed at the same middle school market driving this collection.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Richard Meyer spent 35 years teaching strings at the K-12 level and directed the orchestra program at Oak Avenue Intermediate School in California, growing it from 29 students to 200. His string arrangements like Swamp Thang and Subterranean Dialogues reflect that classroom experience, pairing strong melodic writing with parts that work for developing players.
Brian Balmages brings an international performance résumé spanning Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Sydney Opera House alongside deep roots in school music. His 50 titles in this collection include Moonlight Flight, one of the most widely adopted Grade 4 pieces, and he moves fluidly between orchestral, band, and chamber writing.
Soon Hee Newbold is an internationally known composer who weaves cultural and ethnic styles throughout her work, drawing on performance experience with professional ensembles worldwide. The Iliad showcases her gift for programmatic storytelling at a level that engages middle school orchestras without condescending to them.
Robert D. McCashin directed orchestras and taught strings at the university level for 43 years at James Madison University before retirement. His arrangements and original works carry the mark of someone who understands string pedagogy from the conductor's and player's perspective in equal measure.
