Richard Meyer brings 35 years of classroom experience to his 302 titles in this collection. He grew the orchestra program at Oak Avenue Intermediate from 29 to 200 students and directed the city's elementary string program, work that shapes every piece he writes for school ensembles. His Dragonhunter has become a popular choice for intermediate groups.
Brian Balmages spans orchestral, band, and chamber music with equal facility, and his pieces have reached from elementary schools to Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.
