CLASSICAL
l Three Tchaikovsky Themes—P.I. Tchaikov-
sky/arr. Douglas E. Wagner. Russian Romant-
icism reached its peak with the music of
Tchaikovsky, as the three excerpts included in
this uncomplicated arrangement will attest to:
Symphony No. 4, Mvt. IV, The Nutcracker Suite
(Overture), and 1812 Overture. Younger players
will enjoy mastering this music, which has been
richly scored to make even the smallest ensemble
sound great. There are many teachable moments
in this arrangement, including the development
of full, confident bowing, awareness of dynamic
contrast, and contouring of phrases. Fun to play,
and an almost guaranteed hit with any audience!

He The Abduction from the Seraglio (Over-
ture)—W.A. Mozart/arr. Jamin Hoffman. From
the comic opera filled with pirates, Turkish
princes, kidnapping and daring rescues, Mozart's
The Abduction from the Seraglio is the piece of
music that generated the (possibly fictional) "too
many notes" story. It is written in the Turkish
"janissary" style, a style of music that fascinated
Europe at the time. In this arrangement, the right
hand of the piano is frequently written 8va to help
re-create the piccolo that figured prominently in
the original.

4e Allegro Spiritoso from Symphony No. 32—
W.A. Mozart/arr. Francis J. Caravella. Written in
1779 after his return from Paris, Mozart's lively
Symphony No. 32 loosely follows the form of an
Italian overture. Cleverly arranged here without
the slow andante section, this energetic work
offers students an authentic, playable experience
with a great piece of classical repertoire.

l Artist March—Felix Mendelssohn/arr. Lynne
Latham. Here is the perfect alternative for Pomp
and Circumstance. It is much easier on the
orchestra and everyone plays the melody. All parts
shift and use chromatic fingerings, and there is
great opportunity to work on dotted rhythms and
hooked bowings. The ample number of repeats
allows for great flexibility during graduations or
other processionals. Optional timpani.

pure Telemann, sure to delight your audience.

e Concerto Grosso Op. 6, No. 8 (Christmas
Concerto)—Arcangelo Corelli/arr. Todd Parrish.
Subtitled Fatto per la notte di Natale, or "made
for the night of Christmas," Corelli's Christmas
Concerto stands as one of the finest concerti
grossi of the Baroque era. All solo parts have
been incorporated into a string orchestra version
that retains the original key signatures. This
collection contains three of the movements in
fast, slow, fast format.

of year!

4e Hungarian Dance No. 1—Johannes Brahms/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Brahms captures the
fire and passion of Romanian culture in these folk
songs set to dance styles. Intensity and drama
is created with dynamic exaggeration, abrupt
tempo changes, and contrasting bow styles. An
excellent way to encourage students to listen and
watch the conductor as they engage with all the
wonderfully rich sections of the piece.

(from Suite TWV 55: D8)—G.P. Telemann/arr.

taken from Telemann's seven movement Suite
in D, originally composed for trumpet and
orchestra. An excellent introduction to late
Baroque style playing for intermediate students,
featuring contrasting tempos, dotted rhythms,
and compound time signatures in playable first
position. Includes violin 3 (viola in treble clef) and
alternate viola (violin 2 in alto clef) parts.

4e Overture from "The Thieving Magpie" (La
gazza ladra)—Gioachino Rossini/arr. Carrie
Lane Gruselle. The Thieving Magpie is one of
Rossini's most memorable and exciting opera
overtures. After an aggressive and militaristic
introduction comes the drama and intrigue

silver spoon! Students will explore a full range
of expression and bow strokes in this expertly
orchestrated arrangement.

Song of the Blacksmith and Dargason. Written in
the key of G Major, the final movement will prove
to be less difficult than St. Paul's Suite yet still has
the excitement and energy of the original!

l Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67—Ludwig
van Beethoven/arr. Michael Hopkins. The
heroic second movement of Beethoven's "Fifth
Symphony" is full of themes and variations. In this
accessible arrangement, the original key of A-flat
major has been changed to C major, and the
original time signature of 3/8 has been changed
to 3/4 meter. But Beethoven's original dynamic
markings and harmonies have been preserved -
this movement is an excellent piece for teaching
legato, hooked, martele, and spiccato bowings.
Students can work on bow distribution, dynamic
contrast, and phrasing as they perform one of the
great masterpieces of the Classical era.

4 Symphony No. 7 in D Minor (Third Move-
ment)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Todd Parrish. Though
not as well known as his famous eighth and
ninth symphonies, Dvorak's "Symphony No. 7"
is a masterpiece worthy of serious study and per-
formance. The Scherzo movement has been
abridged and simplified from 6/4 to 6/8 for
playability, but the spirit of Dvorak comes
through clearly. Full of the composer's trademark
hemiola, this arrangement gives melody and
countermelodies to all parts and ends with an
exciting, powerful conclusion. The optional
timpani part gives even more strength to your
performance.

ment 1)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Jamin Hoffman.

Dvorak's most popular chamber work.
