Hoffman. This string masterpiece received a big boost in popularity from the movie "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World." This piece combines the simple but elegant thematic material of the Elizabethan church composer Thomas Tallis, later expanded and modernized through the luxurious harmonies of Vaughan Williams. Hoffman's lush arrangement, adapts and simplifies the original version into a work that is ideal for developing string orchestras. Performance options such as doubling at the octave are given to re-create the sound of the original. Lots of divisi writing makes this ideal for combined or large orchestras! An excellent choice! 10016075 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00 n Fantasia on Greensleeves (What Child is This)Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr. Monday. Rescored for strings, harp (keyboard) and two violin soloists, this ethereal setting of Vaughan Williams' stellar opus retains the form and texture of the original while bringing it to a "student-friendly" level for more players to enjoy. Melodic material is passed effortlessly from one section to another as Vaughan Williams intended and the first violin solo includes some 3rd position work while the second solo only requires 1st position. For large or small performing groups, this is a rich setting of a classic work appropriate for concerts, Christmas presentations, and festivals throughout the year. 10092446 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 48.00 H Farandole (from "L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2") Georges Bizet/arr.

Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the "Brandenburg Concerti!" Not just a cute novelty, but an entirely new work! It captures the spirit of the "Brandenburgs," but sets most of them in minor keys, or uses darker tones, pizzicato, and meter changes J.S. Bach would never have imagined! This is an inventive and challenging work that will take your intermediate strings on an almost nine- minute tour de force that will build their endurance along with their musicality! Highly recommended for concert and contest! 10050371 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 60.00 l Grave and AllegroG.P. Telemann/arr. Robert D. McCashin.

Mendelssohn was a master of writing for string orchestra and this arrangement presents the major themes of the first movement in an edited version sure to keep the interest of your intermediate or advanced high school orchestra. This is a worthwhile challenge. 10050395 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 60.00 Jupiter (from "The Planets")Gustav Holst/ arr. Caponegro. This arrangement of Jupiter is a challenging piece for medium and medium- advanced groups.

A perfect concert piece for any performance venue. 10063892 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00 l The Last ChoraleJ.S. Bach/arr. Bob Lipton.
