Raise your hand if you have ever combined ensembles for a big school or community performance. 🙋‍♀️

Hot off the Presses! Here are 2 New Multi-Level Piece for String Orchestra for

Ride of the Dullahan by Declan Postlethwaite
Tell the Tale of the "Headless Horseman" at your next Fall/Halloween Concert! This piece works as a stand-alone piece for Grade 2.5 orchestra or add grade 1 and/or grade 0.5 to make it a full multi-level adventure.

The First Astronomer by Kevin Sluder
This is 3 pieces in one! It works as a grade 4.5 orchestra OR grade 3 orchestra, or combine any of the multiple levels (Grades 4.5, 3 and 2). It's perfect for your next "space-themed" concert, festival performances, or anytime of year... and it's simply GORGEOUS!

These pieces can be played to combine multiple ensembles across grade levels, schools, or even within one ensemble to provide differentiation for your students. This was something I always was looking for when I was teaching, and I'm so excited to have a platform to promote these "festival style" works now at RSM!
