Subterranean Dialogues, by Richard Meyer, is an edgy-sounding selection that is the perfect piece to feature your advanced string bass section while keeping all the players in your orchestra on their toes. The music unfolds as a series of dialogues, each a duet between the basses and a different section of the orchestra---violas, second violins, celli, and first violins. The wide variety of time signatures, shifting modes, and unusual orchestrations will challenge all of your musicians and delight your audience while putting the unsung heroes of your ensemble in a well-deserved spotlight. (5:00).

Feature your magnificent violas in this Western-flavored section feature that will give your unsung heroes a chance to show off a variety of playing styles. The piece is divided into three distinct parts---a heroic opening theme, a rousing and flashy fiddle melody, and a beautifully flowing legato section. Easy to put together and fun for every section, this is a wonderful way to introduce your audience (and the rest of your string orchestra) to the wide variety of timbres this too-often neglected instrument can achieve. Great for recruiting concerts! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Terri Lyne Carrington, Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, has curated a wide range of jazz compositions written by women composers, from obscure to popular, historic to current, blues to bebop, and beyond in this important collection. These compositions are supplementary and alternatives to the “jazz standard†canon that has served students, teachers and professionals throughout the development of jazz music. The compositions span nearly a century, including Lil Hardin Armstrong's work from 1922 to songs written in 2021 by recent Institute graduates. It features 101 compositions from a remarkable range of acknowledged titans, young visionaries and unsung heroes in jazz: Mary Lou Williams, Alice Coltrane, esperanza spalding, Geri Allen, Maria Schneider, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Dorothy Ashby, Nubya Garcia, Nicole Mitchell and many others. The book includes a 1922 piece by the influential Lil Hardin Armstrong and songs written in 2021 by emerging artists from Carrington's Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. New Standards also celebrates the global world of jazz, from Chilean tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana to Japanese American pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi and other international composers.
