Wilfin Music

Reminiscence by Loreta Fin remains the most widely adopted title in the collection and sits comfortably at Grade 1, making it reliable for young ensembles. Lacrymosa by Mozart ranks close behind as a favorite for intermediate groups at Grade 3.5. Teachers frequently select Calypso Cockatoo and The Pizza Song, both by Fin at Grade 2, when they need something that engages students without excessive difficulty.

Loreta Fin brings extensive performance experience to her compositional work. An Australian violinist trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, she spent over 25 years as Principal Viola player with the Queensland Pops Orchestra while directing strings at a major school. Her prolific output in this collection reflects her deep understanding of what works in the classroom, with pieces like Reminiscence, The Pizza Song, and Songbirds becoming staples for teachers seeking accessible, engaging material.

The collection also draws on timeless works by the classical canon. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Lacrymosa and arrangements of Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Joseph Haydn, and Robert Schumann round out the offering, giving teachers options for introducing students to familiar masterworks in playable string arrangements.
