Multi-Style String Orchestra Scores
Published by Alfred Music, Kendor Music (a subsidiary of Excelsia Music Publishing), and Carl Fischer
The musical imagination of the world offers so many exciting possibilities for string orchestras to take advantage of. Julie was one of the first to start composing in American and World roots styles for string orchestra and has composed over two dozen scores that have been performed worldwide.

Julie’s string orchestra score "French Roast," is a J.W. Editor’s Choice. Her string orchestra Flexi-Score, "Bollywood Strings," has been performed all over the world, including in India (twice) and is a string orchestra favorite with the world's first dedicated electric violin part for each level. It includes an electric violin part, JR. and SR. versions that stand alone or interlock for an intergenerational concert, 10 instructional videos (“Electric Spice” on Youtube), and an authentic Bollywood backing track for rehearsal and performance available on iTunes.
In addition to string orchestra scores geared to specific levels, Julie created a new approach many years ago called Flexi-Scores. A Flexi-Score is made up of a junior and senior level score for the same piece. Each score can be performed on its own, but the two interlock for intergenerational performances. To date, she's composed Flexi-Scores titled "Bollywood Strings," "Klezmer Celebration," and "Celtic Butterfly." The picture below is of 850 Students performing Julie's flexi-score “Celtic Butterfly” in Halifax, organized by string director Sue Ellen Wilder.
