Williams (Socan) #3638695. Published by Garth M. Williams (Socan) (A0.837288). The First Nowell for string orchestra has been written for an advanced intermediate or good adult amateur orchestra.  The carol opens in the Key of G Major and presents a wonderful ostinato in the upper strings accompanied by the tune and harmonization of the carol by the lower strings.  It finally concludes after modulation, in the key of C Major.  The piece does present some divisi string parts in certain sections, and some third position passages for the First Violins as well. I recommend this arrangement to all conductors.  Please have a listen.

The musical story of the Rhino and the Chimp with half and quarter notes with their smooth, sustained quality representing the Rhino and the staccato eighth notes, the chimp.  A bubbly piece for the young string orchestra.  Score and parts come with the C Major Scale and the rhythm patterns highlighted from the orchestral work.  A great way to begin rehearsal.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.837278 Composed by Garth M. Wiliams (Socan). Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 24 pages. Garth M. Williams (Socan) #3425847. Published by Garth M. Williams (Socan) (A0.837278). Bastion Square March is named after the famous Bastion Square found in Victoria, B.C. Canada.  Research states that many of the buildings in Bastion Square were haunted by previous residents of the buildings in the area.  This composition is a typical march with First Violin parts ascending into third and fifth position.  However, whenever this happens in the part it is double by a lower First Violin part in case the upper part is a little too challenging.  The entire march ends with strains of Rule Brittania which I felt appropriate because Victoria is known in British Columbia, Canada as a little bit of England.

Please visit  https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/search?Ntt=sherry+lewis+publishing for all of the titles I offer. If you can’t find a title then contact me through www.baysbest.com/smp-arrangeme/ and I’ll give you the link back to Sheet Music Plus’s listing. VERSATILE Titles that include four parts are written with the idea that they can be performed with 1, 2, 3 or 4 musicians. Most of the contemporary/popular titles include a chord chart for a bass instrument. PRACTICE needs would vary according to the level of the performers but my goal is to be sight-readable for most performers and groups.  AUDIO SAMPLE The 30 second mp3 is frequently shortened and may not start at the introduction to get to the reprise. The actual introduction will be in the sheet music. LISTENABILITY I have performed thousands of weddings and special events. I make it a goal for the music to carry as well as possible through loud and large space situations.  ARRANGEMENTS usually follow the original version. There is an mp3 where you can hear 30 seconds and get a feeling of the originality of the work. EXCELLENT for corporate events, weddings, social gatherings and recitals. APPROPRIATE for students and schools. CHURCH REPERTOIRE I’m always adding more titles. Sherry Lewis is a professional arranger and musician residing in Northern California.
