Classical Selections medium-advanced & advanced
Hebrides OvertureFelix Mendelssohn/arr. Jason
Librande. Now string orchestras alone can enjoy this
massive work of the orchestral repertoire for contest
or any concert performance. Mendelssohn's classic
melody follows the ebb and flow of the ocean waves
as each section adds its voice to a vivid musical
portrait. The overture requires skill in bow control
and ensemble work with advanced rhythms, but
the result is dynamic and just as compelling as its
counterpart for full orchestra.

4 Magic Flute OvertureW.A. Mozart/arr.
Robert McCashin. In the final year of Mozart's
life, he suffered many disappointments and had
become gravely ill. The success of this comedic
opera brought him not only substantial happiness

overture retains the original key of E-flat and all the

y Congo. The first and last are African in origin, probably
brought by the first slaves into Panama, while the second
and third are of Spanish-Indian derivation.

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis—
Ralph 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!

In his early Fugue in C, originally written for string quartet
at the turn of the 20th century, Ives paraphrases the

he manipulates in the style of Baroque music.

The Rite of Spring Themes—Igor 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.

Saint Paul's Suite—Gustav Holst. Best known for his
full orchestral suite "The Planets," Holst also wrote some
