e Symphonie Espagnole (First Movement)—
Edouard Lalo/arr. Todd Parrish. Firmly rooted
in the standard violin repertoire, Symphonie
Espagnole is a brilliant work that showcases
the violin's lyrical beauty and technical virtuosity
with a Spanish style. After keeping the opening
solo passage, the powerful melodies are then
passed throughout the orchestra. The first
movement is arranged here for string orchestra,
shortened and simplified for playability.
However, Lalo's original fiery masterpiece
comes through clearly. The optional timpani
part is highly recommended to achieve the most
authentic sound.

setting is scored to feature your viola and cello
sections and includes some performance options
to best suit your ensemble's level of ability.

VIOLIN
Celtica (for Solo Violin and Orchestra)—
Brian Balmages.
What could be more inspiring to your
young players than playing with an advanced musician? Offer

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.
