H Allegro for Cello and String Orchestra—
Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Fishburn. This is a
straightforward bit of Baroque writing for cello solo
(optional double bass or bassoon solo) with string
orchestra. It's fairly short, making it a great choice for
a quick change of pace selection. (Solo ME, Orch ME)

Ashokan Farewell—arr. Bob Cerulli.
The PBS series The Civil War was one that captured
America's attention. This beautiful lament from that
documentary has taken on a life of its own. Bob
Cerulli's arrangement opens with a feature for solo
violin, continues with strings alone, and includes
the option of using piano, winds, and brass for a full
orchestra version. A timeless melody that captures
the hearts of all who hear it!

Bailes Para Orquesta—Richard Meyer.
These "Dances for Orchestra" are extremely
appealing Latin/South American showcases for two
solo violins and string orchestra. They simply sparkle
with their engaging rhythms and vitality. A major
achievement at this level from master composer
Richard Meyer, this work fully captures the audience
and players' attention from start to finish.

Blackberry Blossom—Gary Gackstatter.
Feature your top player on this famous American
tune! The first time through, the soloist takes the
lead accompanied by some pizzicato and the
occasional foot stomp. The second time through,
first violins play most of the tune along with the
soloist. The third and final time through the soloist
gets some nice variations on the tune. And, oh yes,
the faster the better!

Celtica (for Solo Violin and Orchestra)—
Brian Balmages. What could be more inspiring to
your young players than playing with an advanced
musician? Offer the solo to a local high school or
college student, or even a pro in the area, and have
them guest star at your next concert. Or, inspire your
players by offering an easier version of the solo to
be played by a member of your orchestra. It's a win-
win situation for everyone! Your players will love the
chance to play the lyrical lines and powerful, driving
rhythms of Celtic music.

Concerto for Three—Antonio Vivaldi/
arr. Lloyd Conley.
Taken from "Concerto Grosso,
Op. 3," L'Estro Armonico (Harmony of the Soul), this
unique edition offers the opportunity to feature three
of your best players - two violins and one viola - as
soloists accompanied by string orchestra. A great
opportunity to perform a distinctive Baroque work.

Concerto for Triangle—Mike Hannickel.
Here's a unique way to add some fun to your
program. Staged with a featured player, this piece
unfolds with numerous missed opportunities for
the triangle soloist (maybe a local celebrity, like
the principal, mayor, or a special teacher), and
culminates with a big finish concerto style.

Concerto in D Minor (The "Bach
Double")—J. S. Bach/arr. Moore. We're sure
you're familiar with this one! It's the standard piece
known as the "Bach Double" that every Suzuki
student eventually learns. And chances are, you
have two students who would love to be featured in
this great arrangement! Arranged for string orchestra
with optional piano (or harpsichord), the viola, cello
and bass sections play throughout, and the two
violin parts alternate between tutti sections and
solo sections. It's a very practical design that allows
you to make the most of all your violinists while still
featuring your two "stars!"

Danza Latina—Brian Balmages. The ultimate
in performance flexibility: you can feature a violinist
or violist at the advanced level, or the easy level!
Written for a professional Venezuelan-born violist,
this work draws inspiration from the passionate
dance rhythms of Latin America. Ideal for young
orchestras who are interested in featuring a soloist,
the piece comes with an advanced viola solo as
well as an easier version that can be performed by a
violist in your group. The same options are given for
violin! Easy percussion parts really add flare, making
this the showstopper of your next program. It's a
great way to add some sizzle to your next concert!
Highly recommended!

Folk Tune Air and Fiddler's Fury—
Alexander Safford.
Showcase your strings!
From the lyric melody of the slow air, to the shuffle
bowing, finger slides, and furious fiddling of the
second section, your orchestra will love practicing
this one! This work contrasts the two very different
areas of folk fiddling. A concert and contest favorite!

Gabriel's Oboe (from "The Mission")—
Ennio Morricone/arr. Longfield.
This melody
became so popular that Italian lyrics were added
and it has a second life as the song, Nella Fantasia.
Oscar winning composer Ennio Morricone has
provided Hollywood with some of its monumental
film scores, including this engaging music from
"The Mission." This memorable theme can feature
either an oboe, a flute, or solo violin backed by an
impressive, rich string orchestral accompaniment.

arr. Don Brubaker.
It's Vivaldi's Gloria - without
all those pesky singers! This string orchestra
arrangement of Vivaldi's choral masterwork is the
perfect introduction for young string players. It
retains the composer's key of D Major and features
solo/soli parts for your advanced players! The
opportunity to teach or reinforce hooked bowing
and the bow lift is present in each section of the
orchestra. Everyone in your orchestra will enjoy
the rhythmic vitality and harmonic beauty of this
enduring masterwork.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen—
arr. Chip Davis/adap. Longfield.
This Mannheim
Steamroller favorite is an energetic movement that

holiday program.

Irish Legend—Robert Kerr &
Soon Hee Newbold.
Showcase your strings
with fire and flair in the style of "Riverdance" and
traditional Celtic music! Written by Robert Kerr and
arranged for strings by Soon Hee Newbold, this air
and jig is a dramatic finale to any concert. Dazzling
violin solos (both lyrical and technical) and highly
rhythmic passages accompanied by drum set really
set this work apart. Optional piano and harp add
to the sound of a work destined to bring down the
house. A great closer!
10047958 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .M 60.00
It Takes One to Tango—Brian Balmages.
Here's a unique feature for that exceptional student
cellist (or euphonium player). All the drama of a
tango, with intricate mystery and plenty of rhythmic
variation. The orchestra provides accessible
accompaniment and response to the vibrant solo.
Sure to receive a standing ovation!
10307197 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . .ME 60.00
Japanese Lullaby—Keiko Yamada.
This dramatic music is based on an authentic
Japanese folk song Mori no Fukuro (The Forest
Owl). This pensive and beautiful tune becomes the
inspiration for a truly unique arrangement. Textures
change mysteriously as a solo violin and solo cello
exchange, melodies, followed by 2 solo violins
soaring over pizzicato accompaniment. This builds
into the final statement of the folk song with an
obbligato in the first violins. Highly recommended!

Momentium—Paul Barker. This powerful
original work utilizes driving rhythms, harmonies
laced with irresistible suspensions, and an
emotional solo for violin in the middle section. Add
the orchestral percussion and piano to have a
superb choice for concerts.

My Shot (from "Hamilton")—
Lin-Manuel Miranda/arr. Larry Moore.
"Hamilton" is without question the most creative,
talked-about musical to hit Broadway this
millennium. In this stand-out selection from the
show, the lead characters lay out their plans for
a victory, despite their personal hardships. This
arrangement for strings and a vocalist is a clever
way to connect students with American history!

Oblivion—Astor Piazzolla/arr. Longfield.
Originally composed for chamber ensemble, this
sultry tango features a violin, flute or oboe solo with
string orchestra. A lovely piece that is incredibly
expressive and emotional.
10374202 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . .ME 50.00
One Bow Concerto—Richard Meyer.
Your audience will laugh out loud! A violinist, a
violist and a cellist have soloist seats in front of the
orchestra, and they share just one bow, passing it to
one another just in the nick of time. The orchestra is
all pizzicato, so there really is only one bow. "But a
cellist shouldn't use a violin bow," you think. Right, so
they stop passing it to him and the cellist shows what
he thinks of that! By the end the bow is in the hand of
the conductor. Recommended as a show-stopper!

Theme from Schindler's List—
John Williams/arr. Longfield & Barlowe.
This special edition of John Williams' eloquent
theme is arranged to feature a violin solo, violin duet,
or a violin and viola duet. Set in its original key, the
solo part is the original version as played by Ithzak
Perlman, and accompanied by the duet part and
a rich string orchestra backdrop. A powerful and
dramatic program piece!

H
Winter from "The Four Seasons" (Second
Movement)—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. McCarrick.
This arrangement is simple enough for the violin,
viola, or cello soloist of your choice! Vivaldi's lyrical
second movement, now in G Major, stays true to
the original with the famous melody over pizzicato
accompaniment. The violin solo is entirely in first
position, and the viola and cello soloists only need to
know the first three notes they learn in third position:
D, E, and F sharp on the A string!
