Leap of Faith
By Randy Sabien
A cool viola feature! Beginning with a solo introduction invoking a Celtic lament, it morphs into a driving rock pulse of 3+3+2. Unlike most rock tunes, there is no need for drums, guitar, or piano as those roles have been assigned entirely to the strings. |

Wizards in Winter
Arr. by Bob Phillips
As seen in the Symphonic Rockers Trans-Siberian Orchestra stage show! Highlight your strings and even add a rhythm section if you like—whatever you do, play it large! |

Terkisher Klezmer Fest
Arr. Julie Lyonn Lieberman
Klezmer music offers thrilling rhythms and festive yet mysterious melodic themes. In the key of C, this tune challenges students with its "Gemini" notes that change identities, and its Eastern European modal scale. |
