About This Collection
Description
This collection spans 6,500+ orchestral works for school and community ensembles, from beginning string orchestras through full orchestra. Teachers return consistently to titles like From the Start by Laufey, Force of Nature by Brian Balmages, and Five Note Fiddler, also by Balmages, which balance accessibility with musical substance across grades 0.5 through 5. You'll find masterwork arrangements, light concert pieces, and folk selections alongside programmatic works and novelty numbers, with particularly strong representation in the grade 2 through 3 range where most school orchestras operate.
Highlights
Brian Balmages dominates the best-seller list with Force of Nature (grade 2) and Five Note Fiddler (grade 0.5), both widely adopted for their musicality and manageable instrumentation. Laufey's From the Start (grade 2.5) and Soon Hee Newbold's Gravitas (grade 3) round out the titles teachers are actually ordering, offering a mix of contemporary and traditional musical approaches.
Recently added
Recent releases include The Gift of Giving and Alpine Adventure by Brian Balmages and Michael Hopkins, plus Spirit of Noel by Katie O'Hara LaBrie and IN THE MOORLAND/MIS by Cécile Chaminade, all published in June 2026.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Brian Balmages is a composer and conductor equally at home in orchestral, band, and chamber music, with works performed from elementary schools to Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. His Force of Nature remains one of the collection's best sellers, and he continues adding new titles regularly. Richard Meyer spent 35 years teaching strings in public schools, including 22 years building the Oak Avenue Intermediate School program from 29 to 200 students, and brings that classroom experience into his 392 compositions for orchestras. Bob Phillips is recognized as an innovator in string education with particular expertise in large group pedagogy and eclectic arranging; his Sound Innovations series alone spans six levels and is performed by thousands of students yearly. Carrie Lane Gruselle holds degrees in music education from Wisconsin schools and teaches both elementary and middle strings in the Appleton Area School District while maintaining a composer's voice shaped by Suzuki pedagogy.
