HIGHLAND / ETLING NEW RELEASES

Dear Fellow String Teachers, The longer one teaches, the more one realises that choice of literature plays a huge role in the success of any concert. We’ve all heard groups attempt music that is too difficult for them, or perform music that is so repetitious, predictable, and mundane that it bores the players and the audience (not to mention the conductor!). Choosing the correct music for a group is a skill we develop over time and I am proud to recommend the outstanding selections in this year’s Highland/Etling catalog as a great starting point in your search for quality literature.

Whether you’re looking for original music, transcriptions of classics, folk pieces, or alternative music, you can rest assured that all of the music included here WORKS and each piece has been carefully chosen to make your rehearsals and concerts a success for everyone in your orchestra program. So . . . happy hunting everyone! Enjoy listening to this rich collection of quality literature and experiencing the excitement of finding those selections that are just right for you and your students.

Finally, as this is my last release as Editor of the Highland/Etling string catalog, I want to take this opportunity to say how much I have enjoyed editing this catalog over the past 17 years, and how proud I am of the contributions we have made to all of the string programs we have served.

Musically,

Richard Meyer Highland / Etling String Editor

REAL MUSICIANS! In support of the musicians that learn, teach, and play as a profession, we pay for real musicians to produce our recordings.

A Northumbrian Folk Song Suite Traditional / arr. R. J. Hume

Everyone plays the melody and the rollicking accompaniments using idiomatic Celtic bowings, accents, and rhythms. The first uptempo tune is a strathspey, “The Smith’s a Gallant Fireman” followed by two reels, “Perrie Werrie” and “St. Kilda Wedding.” (4:10)

Northumberland is the most northerly county in England with a diverse landscape of ancient moorlands and magnificent coastlines. This charming suite captures a flavor of its rich musical heritage. (6:30)
