As opposed to the earlier chamber work Nightshade which dealt with extremes of high and low pitches and the chamber orchestra composition Second Nightshade a two-fold piece contrasting darkness/anxiety and light/calm Final Nightshade for full symphony orchestra takes us on a journey in which the forces of dark and light struggle - and co-exist - in a predominantly polyphonic web with brooding undertones.

Three new collections of varied pieces for orchestra for players from beginner to grade 3 standard.This collection of three books each containing eight varied pieces has been compiled to capture the imagination of young players and to introduce them to a wide range of musical styles.Special effects appropriate to each instrument provide additional learning points and great entertainment both in rehearsal and performance. There are glissandos for strings and trombone flutter tonguing for flute and trumpets (for those able to) and a range of vocal sounds for all!The scoring allows these pieces to be played by variouscombinations of instruments. Ideally your orchestra should have some instruments from each section but if not (for example no brass) then the supplementary piano part (available separately) can be used to fill the gaps. It can also be used to provide extra support in rehearsals.As well as the normal percussion parts some of the pieces make use of a drum kit. For orchestras without a drum kit player a drum kit and bass backing track is available to download free of charge either as MP3 or WAV files.OrchestrationDescant recorder Treble recorder Flute 1 Flute 2 or Oboe Clarinet 1 Clarinet 2 Alto Sax Bassoon Horn in F Horn in Eb Trumpet 1 Trumpet 2 Trombone (Bass clef) Trombone (Treble clef) Timpani Drum Kit Percussion 1 Percuission 2 Percussion 3.Strings (Violin 1 Violin 2 Violin 3 Viola Cello Bass)Orchanics 1 contains:-Playing Tag (Richard Ling); Eastern March (Richard Ling); Autumn from Four Seasons (Vivaldi); Entertainer (Joplin); St.Anthony Chorale (Brahms/Haydn); Jazz Train (Richard Ling); Caribbean Carnival (Richard Ling); Hark the herald angels sing.
