Luna : for String Orchestra

The title Luna is the Latin word for moon, which is the subject of this lyrical original string orchestra work by composer Yukiko Nishimura. In a lilting waltz style, the composer has described the inspiration as imagining the sky with the moon at daytime. Nishimura's gift for melody shines throughout, especially in the middle section which includes lush passages in the upper strings with delicate pizzicato accompaniment. Composer/pianist Yukiko Nishimura grew up in Japan and graduated from Tokyo National University of the Arts, where she studied with Atsutada Otaka. Upon graduation, she moved to the USA to study with Alfred Reed at U of Miami and later with Richard Danielpour atthe Manhattan School of Music. Nishimura has received numerous commissions in a variety of genres from solo and chamber ensembles, to works for band, orchestra, film and theater. Among her honors are two Special Mentions at the Corciano International Composer Competition in Italy, the Aoyama Award, and a 2018 Nomination for the Hollywood Music in Media Prize.

Grande Polka : for String Orchestra Score

This toe-tapping polka is originally for piano solo and transposed to the keys of A and E major. The melody and harmony float between the violins, with a brief appearance for cello and bass. The viola section provides a strongrhythmic drive. This work was written and published in 1860 while Bares was still enslaved. Not only is it a strong example of a composition by a black composer, but also a playable introduction to more complicated key signaturesfor your orchestra.

The work is a brief fantasia in ABA form and stays completely within the first position, making it an ideal choice for an easy to play, original crowd pleaser on holiday-themed programs.
