Gruselle. The "Peer Gynt Suite" themes are among the most recognizable in classical history - many of us have Saturday morning cartoons to thank for the initial exposure. This arrangement of the four movements by Gruselle contains: Morning Mood; Aase's Death; Anitra's Dance and In the Hall of the Mountain King. 10091979 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00 n Pictures at an ExhibitionModest Mussorgsky/ arr.

Once again available in this new printing, your orchestra can enjoy the music of this 20th-century English composer. 10288419 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 71.00 4 Presto from Symphony No.1F.J. Haydn/ arr. Robert D. McCashin. The opening movement of Haydn's first symphony demonstrates his substantial range of invention, organization of thought, musical ideas, and inventive compositional prowess.

Ideal for school assemblies, graduations, and other important functions requiring a little extra pageantry. 10458743 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00 H The Red PonyAaron Copland/arr. Morales. The mere mention of the name Copland suggests American music, and in many cases the American West. Most familiar is his ballet suite "Rodeo," but his film score to the movie "The Red Pony" is just as enjoyably characteristic. "The Red Pony" is based on a novel by John Steinbeck, and this version is taken from the suite Copland created out of his film score. Included are the following sections: Morning On The Ranch; Dream March; Walk To The Bunkhouse and Happy Ending. Don't miss this chance to let your students play the music of one of America's greatest composers! 2438083 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 65.00 Requiem (The Fifth)Ludwig van Beethoven/ arr.

This one really rocks! 10310465 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 64.00 The Rite of Spring ThemesIgor Stravinsky/ arr. Lipton. When "The Rite of Spring" was first performed in Paris in 1913, it created shock waves not only in the theater where it was performed, but throughout the world of music. It is one of the most revolutionary and significant pieces of music of the 20th century. This arrangement tries to stay as close to Stravinsky's vision as possible while allowing the opportunity for students to perform a piece which sounds just as fresh today as it did almost a century ago. 10053860 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 n Romanian Folk DancesBela Bartok/arr. Monday. This arrangement features four of the six dance movements as first arranged by Bartok. Joc Cu Bata; Buciumeana; Poarga Romanesca and Marunte are exotic-sounding and dramatic. These are perfect for the medium level orchestra ready for concert, contest, or just "wowing" the audience. 2478286 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 48.00 H Rondo (from "the Incidental Music for Abdelazer") Henry Purcell/arr. Douglas Stroud. This noble theme is the Purcell tune that Benjamin Britten used as the basis for his Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Douglas Stroud has fashioned a short rondo for strings, using additional dance music from Purcell's suite. Rich, full bowing within the 3/2 meter offers many teaching opportunities when rehearsing this exceptional music. 10283748 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 40.00 n Royal Fireworks OvertureG.F.

Three optional percussion parts are included. 2479427 String Orchestra, Percussion Opt. . . . . . . . . . 52.00 n ScheherazadeRimsky-Korsakov/arr. Gruselle. Students finally have the opportunity to play this Romantic masterpiece by Rimsky-Korsakov, inspired by the story of "1001 Arabian Nights." Incorporating themes from all four movements, this arrangement provides study opportunity for young string students in a wide variety of keys, tempi, articulations, accidentals, rhythmic challenges, and expressive styles. As is the case in the original, a violin soloist is featured as the narrator of the tales. No shifting is required for the second violin and viola. Excellent! 10027371 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00 Seven Scottish AirsGustav Holst/arr. Phillips. What if you found a Holst work for strings that no one has played before? Well, here it is! This wonderful collection of Scottish airs was originally for string quartet and piano, and has been faithfully transcribed for string orchestra and optional piano. Technically easier than the St. Paul Suite, but with a similar feel, Seven Scottish Airs is the perfect introduction to the music of Holst. 10026995 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00 H Symphony No. 1 in D Major (Movement II) Gustav Mahler/arr. Dackow. This scherzo-like 2nd movement from Mahler's "First Symphony" is a vigorous, exuberant work that evokes rustic good times. Excellent for building confidence and teaching aggressive playing, this is a superb selection for both rehearsal and performance! 2215234 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 n Symphony No. 8 in G Major (Finale)Dvorak/ arr. Dackow. The Finale from Dvorak's "Symphony No. 8 In G Major," with its oft-recurring, very strong theme, is a most impressive work for any performance! 2216109 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 60.00 n Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished" - First Movement Franz Schubert/arr. McCashin. This works beautifully with strings alone! From the mysterious opening, to one of Schubert's best melodies, to the dramatic conclusion, this arrangement captures the essence of Schubert's "Unfinished!" It's like a new addition to the string orchestra repertoire! Your students will enjoy performing this and your audience will be very impressed. 10027377 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Symphony No. 25, First MovementW.A. Mozart/arr. Brubaker. This fresh new arrangement retains all of the fire and passion found in Mozart's first minor key symphony! The oboe and horn parts have been assimilated into the string parts. The second violin and viola parts are playable in first position, and the use of optional notes and divisi make the first violin, cello, and bass parts accessible to less advanced players. Mature junior high and high school players will enjoy playing this energetic movement which opens the movie "Amadeus!" 10027606 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 62.00 4 Symphony No. 104 (Finale)Franz Joseph Haydn/arr. Todd Parrish. This exuberant finale from "Symphony No. 104" is Haydn at his best.

Bach/arr. Loreta Fin. These three short chorales (G Major, G Minor, G Major) are excellent warm-up exercises and are also very useful for training ensembles to listen for pure intonation. Vibrato and tone quality can also be emphasized, as well as watching the conductor for pauses and upbeats. Dynamics are suggested, to assist with the shaping of phrases. Each chorale can stand alone as a processional or recessional for special occasions. 10595009 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00 4 Toccata PrimaJohan Ernst Eberlin/arr. Bob Lipton. Originally written for organ, this transcription contains a wide array of musical opportunities. From the rich and broad sections to the softer and lighter moments, the music has interesting passages for every member of the orchestra. It's an excellent change of pace with a full and dramatic ending. 10592173 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 4 Tritsch Tratsch PolkaJohann Strauss, Jr./ arr. Clark McAlister. Polkas remain popular after hundreds of years. This famous one by Strauss is both melodic, fun, and a good choice for lighter programming. 10617980 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 H Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")Sergei Prokofiev/arr. Wieloszynski. This charming number takes its name from a Russian sleigh called a "troika," pulled by three horses and common in wintertime. The melody is really quite familiar, bright and bouncy as it evokes the sleigh. Parts are carefully edited for school age players, and many techniques are included, but can be omitted if too hard. Optional percussion parts are included. This would be a great choice for a wintertime concert! 2313955 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00 l Two Chorale PreludesJohannes Brahms/arr.

Not just for the viola section! Both violins and violas get the exuberant melody in this very playable arrangement of the Baroque classic. Violists will appreciate the opportunity to showcase the beauty and power of their instrument. 10444035 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 H Waltz No. 2Shostakovich/arr. Lavender. Shostakovich's waltz has become an international icon, made popular by artists like Andre Rieu and heard prominently in Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut." Taken from Shostakovich's Suite for Variety Orchestra, Paul Lavender's skillful adaptation is ideally suited for both serious and light programming. 10081471 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Classical Selections Medium-Advanced & Advanced n Academic Festival OvertureBrahms/arr. McCashin. This arrangement offers exciting opportunities for more mature players. A combination of juxtaposed and interlocking double- stops are used to maintain the sonorous depth of Brahms' original work. Several edits have been made to bring this to a more appropriate length for concert and festival performances. Although this is ideal for large string orchestras, also consider using it for a chamber group of your finest musicians! 2480768 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 60.00 Adagio and PrestoF.J. Haydn/arr. Robert Sieving. The fabulous setting of this great symphony will provide opportunities to develop spiccato bowing technique.

Originally written as the slow movement of a string quartet, this musical treasure was singled out by conductor Arturo Toscanini, who asked Barber for a string orchestra arrangement. It was played on a national radio broadcast following the death of president Roosevelt and has been part of the national consciousness ever since. This is a work of singular beauty and calls for great expressiveness and control. 427328 String Orchestra . . . . . . . A 45.00 n Allegro ModeratoW.A. Mozart/arr. Robert D. McCashin. The first movement from Mozart's "Symphony No. 29" contains that delicate balance between his graceful lyricism and his signature tempestuous energy.

MA 60.00 Capriccio EspagnolNikolai Rimsky-Korsakov/ arr. Robert D. McCashin. This resetting for string orchestra has successfully kept the composer's intent, and to a great extent, the sounds and colors of the original orchestration.

A terrific addition as a primary work for any concert! 10500790 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 95.00 H Capriol SuitePeter Warlock. This staple of the string orchestra repertoire, composed in 1927, is based on a suite of six Renaissance dances.
