'Little Blue Train,' by Tasmanian composer Stefan Karpiniec, is performed here by TYO Camerata Strings under the direction of Kim Bishop. The piece proved popular with TYO's Camerata students, while providing challenge and offering much scope to develop character and technical control over a variety of rhythms and articulations. There is a clear blues influence in the rhythm and harmony, and the tunes and rhythmic energy are shared through all of the string orchestra sections. Stefan Karpiniec is a Tasmanian composer who writes and arranges music for students, including orchestras, choirs and classroom material. 'Little Blue Train' by Stefan Karpiniec (copyright 1996) TYO Camerata Strings, conducted by Kim Bishop, ensemble tutors James Anderson and Jess Wright also play. Filmed August 2022 by Caleb Miller of Mac40 Media. TYO acknowledges the support of the University of Tasmania in providing use of the Stanley Burbury Theatre.

'Molto pesante, with great lack of tact or taste!' is the score instruction to the timpanist in this fabulous piece by Launceston composer Fraser Deeth, who thought it would be a hoot to 'see what would happen if an overly enthusiastic timpanist was let loose on a perfectly good waltz!' This performance by the TYO Sinfonietta of 'Timpani Waltz - or why Timpani Don't Play Waltzes...' is a family affair: dedicated to the composer's parents and conducted by the composer's brother Angus Deeth. Filmed in Hobart's Stanley Burbury Theatre, August 2022. Cinematography: Caleb Miller.

'Big Red Bus,' by Tasmanian composer Stefan Karpiniec, is performed here by TYO Camerata Strings under the direction of Kim Bishop. The piece is a little rondo offering images of a bus making its way though the city at peak hour. It’s not difficult to imagine the bumpy ride, horn honks and general clatter. Stefan Karpiniec is a Tasmanian composer who writes and arranges music for students, including orchestras, choirs and classroom material.
