| The Evil Eye and the Hideous Heart |
|
| Alan Lee Silva |
 |
Based on the classic Edgar Allan Poe short story The Tell-Tale Heart, composer Alan Lee Silva shows a more dramatic and darker side to his writing. Originally commissioned as a work reminiscent of a classic Hollywood horror movie theme, the piece follows the story of one of Poe's most famous thrillers. An excellent literary tie-in for your students studying the structure of a story in Language Arts, it appeals to their sense of mystery with a delicious touch of the macabre. The basses act as the low, ominous threat of danger, and the upper voices represent the insanity of the narrator's twisted plan. A real thriller!

| Isle of Skye (Highland Dance) |
|
| Doris Gazda |
 |
A Celtic style original piece from popular composer Doris Gazda, inspired by the Isle of Skye, the largest and most northerly island of the Inner Hebrides Islands of Scotland. The island’s center is a mountainous area from which radiate many peninsulas that form a rugged coastline. This work has the lilting flow of an Irish jig, but it contains tuneful original melodies. This is a feel-good piece that students and audiences will love to play over and over again.

| Jam! |
| Sean O'Loughlin |
 |
Jam! is one of the most fun and unique pieces your string orchestra will perform in their musical development, getting them familiar with new styles that they'll use later on. Many of its rhythms can be left up to your and your group's interpretation, so get creative... break it up and let your group really jam!

| Sailing! |
|
| Yukiko Nishimura |
 |
The music of Sailing! is characterized by an atmosphere that is vibrant and full of energy. The piece depicts a ship’s journey on the ocean, the colors of which can readily change from a rich, welcoming blue to a dark, menacing gray. Sometimes the ship is sprayed by the waves; sometimes the ship floats blithely along a sea of tranquility. Articulations play a prominent role in this piece, with a combination of staccatos and slurs expressing sensations of happiness and joy in the ocean journey. It's the next best thing to experiencing the ocean firsthand!
