Shirl Jae Atwell

Celle-ci est vraiment géniale !

Strollin' is a charming new work for String Orchestra, utilizing syncopation in 6/8 time. Written as a contemporary jazz piece, every voice is balanced with the other making this a great piece to rein...

Winner of the 1996 National School Orchestra Association Composition Contest!

Energetically-charged winner of the 1997 Texas Orchestra Directors Association Composition Contest. Drifen (pronounced Dri'ven) is derived from the Middle English spelling of driven and means to drive...

Based on an Irish Fiddle tune brought to the U.S., this high-energy piece is fun for all players! It's in A minor and doesn't require shifting except for a few spots in the bass part.

Catchy blues with a rock beat that will have feet tapping and fingers snapping!

Lighthearted and carefree, Shirl Atwell's infectious rhythmic designs offer orchestras great opportunities to strengthen counting and syncopation with this E Minor composition.
