From the Start by Laufey and Force of Nature by Brian Balmages are the most widely adopted titles in this collection. Teachers keep coming back to Dragonhunter by Richard Meyer for its musical appeal at Grade 1, and Gravitas by Soon Hee Newbold for more advanced ensembles. Swan Lake and classical arrangements sit alongside contemporary pop and Broadway selections, giving you real flexibility in what you program.

The Gift of Giving by Brian Balmages, Spirit of Noel by Katie O'Hara LaBrie, and The Great Reindeer Race by Tyler S. Grant arrived in June 2026. IN THE MOORLAND/MIS by Cécile Chaminade and SEARCHING FOR SEVILLE/MDS by Gioachino Rossini also just came in for those looking to refresh their classical repertoire.

Brian Balmages brings world-class credentials to every piece he writes for strings. His music has been performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to elementary schools, and he's equally comfortable writing original works and crafting arrangements. In this collection, Force of Nature, Five Note Fiddler, A Joyful Celebration, and The Gift of Giving all show his gift for matching musical substance to the grade level.

Richard Meyer spent 35 years teaching string students at all levels in California public schools, building one orchestra program from 29 students to 200. He brings that classroom experience directly into his compositions. Dragonhunter, his standout title here, works at Grade 1 because Meyer understands what beginning orchestras actually need to sound good.

Carrie Lane Gruselle teaches elementary and middle strings in Wisconsin while holding graduate credentials in Suzuki pedagogy. Her background in hands-on string instruction shapes how she voices her arrangements and original works for young ensembles.

Douglas E. Wagner has published over 3,500 titles since 1973 across every medium from choir to orchestra. His arrangement sense and prolific output make his Selections from Hamilton a natural draw for programs looking for Broadway material that plays well in schools.
