Excelcia Music Publishing has published 32 new engaging and energetic string orchestra pieces from many beloved composers as well as talented new voices in its 2022 String Orchestra music release. An array of educationally-sound pieces influenced by Classical, Jazz, Swing and Rock, the 2022-2023 catalog is filled with rich choices for Festival, Holiday and more. As it has done in prior years, the publisher’s 2022 release includes live professional recordings of each piece, which can be used as a tool with students in the classroom and virtually.
“The catalog of new string orchestra works from Excelcia Music Publishing this season is the strongest yet – I am continually amazed at the humanity that our writers can bring to music that is appropriate for student musicians. Anything from this catalog is just as comfortable on a performance stage as it is in the educational setting – and I cannot tell you how inspiring that is,” said Director of Music Production and Editing, Tyler Arcari.
The publisher’s 2022 String Orchestra release includes pieces from composers Tyler Arcari, Larry Clark, Erica Donahoe, David Hinds, Caryn Wiegand Neidhold, Yukiko Nishimura, Sean O’Loughlin, Steve Parsons, John M. Pasternak, Liam Ramsey-White, Alan Lee Silva, George Sweet, Bruce W. Tippette and Bud Woodruff. The publisher also welcomes the following new composers to its orchestra catalog: Katie O’Hare LaBrie, Ruth Brittin and Günther Fiala.
Each score, and its accompanying parts, are meticulously-edited and beautifully set for ease of reading and include unique features to increase accessibility and help facilitate efficient rehearsals. Optional bowings have been carefully selected, and optional percussion parts have been added to certain pieces to provide an additional layer to the orchestra’s sound. Published in Excelcia Music Publishing’s signature color-coded series, the string orchestra music follows the strict and consistent six-part grading system: Prelude (grade .5), Da Capo (grade 1), Harmony (grade 1.5), Intermezzo (grade 2 to 2.5), Rhapsody (grade 3 to 3.5) and Maestro (grade 4 and up). In addition to the professional recordings, the publisher provides ScoreVideos and preview scores for each piece on its website.
Excelcia Music Publishing’s 2022 String Orchestra music is available from music retailers and from the publisher.
