Outbound Express, composed and arranged by Renata Bratt for string orchestra (Grade 3), is a spirited, jazz‑inspired original piece reminiscent of a lively train journey. Featuring toe‑tapping syncopations, easy-to-play jazz riffs, and light solo-writing for each string section, it gives strings a big-band sound without wind or brass. A fun and accessible choice for intermediate ensembles wanting rhythm, groove, and ensemble spotlight opportunities
