Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas TallisRalph
Vaughan Williams/arr. 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!

a classic work appropriate for concerts, Christmas

n Fugue (from "L'estro Armonico")Antonio
Vivaldi & J.S. Bach/arr. Bob Lipton. The
combination of Vivaldi and Bach is true magic.
The same can be said of this arrangement of
the fugue from the first movement of "L'estro
Armonico, No. 11," which Bach arranged for his
"Organ Concerto in D Minor." Combining the best
of both versions, this arrangement explores some
brilliant contrapuntal writing.

l Fugue from Requiem in D minorW.A. Mozart/

a challenging piece for medium and medium-
advanced groups. While not quite contemporary
in style, the piece is modern enough in concept to

treatments of themes and motifs. A perfect concert
piece for any performance venue.
10063892 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00
n LacrymosaW.A. Mozart/arr. Loreta Fin. The
"Requiem" by Mozart was left unfinished upon
his death in 1791. He composed only the first
eight bars of the Lacrymosa, which was later
completed by a student. Mozart's original string
parts have been described as "falling tears." In this
arrangement, the choral parts are shared by the
upper strings and the "tears" mostly fall from the
celli. A truly beautiful and emotional work.
10522641 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
n March from "Second Suite"Gustav Holst/
arr. Bob Lipton & J. Cameron Law. Initially written
for military band, the first movement of Holst's
"Second Suite in F" comprises three British folk
tunes which were originally performed on string
instruments. The key has been changed here to
D major for ease of fingerings, and the cellos and
violas will delight in long, extended melodies where
they can shine. This superb arrangement is a great
way for your students to experience playing the
music of Holst.

spirit of 19th century nationalism as it was growing
in Europe. This exceptional arrangement set in A
minor (a more comfortable key than the original Bb
minor) has all the elements of the original and lets
your orchestra shine without the need of winds and
percussion. A dramatic and memorable addition to
any concert!

H Mock MorrisPercy Grainger/arr. Dackow.
"Always merry and bright" is how Grainger
described this cheerful tune! Composed in the
style of the traditional English "Morris Dance," this
completely original work could be described as sort
of an English "Brandenburg Concerto." Delightful!

n Nessun DormaGiacomo Puccini/arr. Ricketts.
This famous aria has been done up in a grand
operatic style! All the stops are pulled out as the
strings use solos, bowed tremolo close to the
bridge, pizzicato, divisi, and more to create all the
excitement of Puccini's most famous aria. First
violins have a brief but lyrical moment up in the fifth
position. Timpani and percussion parts are included.
2475742 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
NimrodEdward Elgar/arr. Bender. This ninth
variation from Elgar's "Enigma Variations" is the
most played and most beautiful of the variations.
Due to its overwhelming expressive quality, it
has become England's counterpart to Adagio for
Strings, being played when music of great emotion
and dignity is called for in that country. This fine
arrangement moves the key center from Eb to
the more string-friendly D. With some very nice
divisi writing, this makes an ideal choice for any
string orchestra, and especially nice for larger or
combined string orchestras.
2471555 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00
NocturneAlexander Borodin/arr. Andrew H.

of Borodin's original composition remain, but
are technically approachable, with options to
accommodate varied abilities.

10594770 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 58.00
H PavaneGabriel Faure/arr. John O'Neill. Such
an emotive arrangement for your group! John
O'Neill brings this work to an accessible level
for maturing players by setting it in the key of G
minor, yet maintains its Impressionistic elegance.
The muted intention of Faure's work begs that the
pizzicato bass lines not be rushed, lest the effect be
disturbed. Optional solo features may not leave a
dry eye in the house!
