CLASSICAL
He Waltz No. 2—Dimitri Shostakovich/arr. Paul
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.

e Academic Festival Overture—J. Brahms/arr.
Robert D. 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!

H Adagio for Strings—Samuel Barber. 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
4e Adagio from "Symphony No. 8" (Second
Movement)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert D.
McCashin. Dvorak's 8th Symphony is often
referred to as his Pastoral symphony for its
optimistic and uplifting themes. With contrasting
melancholy minor and lighthearted major folk-like
melodies, this arrangement of the Adagio second
movement features dramatic dynamics, solo
lines, and thick, lush harmonies for advanced
string orchestra.

e Allegro con Brio from "Symphony No. 8"
—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert D. McCashin.
This spectacular arrangement features the first
movement of Dvorak's well-known "Symphony
No. 8." While the arrangement has been made
accessible to younger ensembles, it retains all the
expressiveness and primary thematic material of
the original work. A delightful and spirited piece that
will surely captivate your orchestra and audience!

e Allegro Moderato from Symphony No. 3—
Camille Saint-Saens/arr. Deborah Baker Monday.
This movement of the famous "Organ Symphony"
includes two of the most memorable themes
ever penned by Saint-Saens. This arrangement
includes the highly energetic string theme and
the beautiful fugue based on his four-note theme
which cycles throughout the entire symphony.
The two contrasting sections of this arrangement
offer two extremes of bowing style: one requiring
heavy strokes at the frog and the other using
legato, expressive, full bowing.

10752883 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
e Capriccio Espagnol—Nikolai Rimsky-Korsa-
kov/arr. Robert D. McCashin. This resetting for
string orchestra has successfully kept the com-
poser's intent, and to a great extent, the sounds
and colors of the original orchestration. While
requiring some substantial string forces, it's fully
approachable by quality high school groups. It
consists of five connected movements based on
Spanish themes. A terrific addition as a primary
work for any concert!

10500791 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 12.00
H Capriol Suite—Peter Warlock. This staple of the
string orchestra repertoire, composed in 1927,
is based on a suite of six Renaissance dances.
Each dance offers a different mood and rhythm,
and together they form an excellent concert work.
Original edition.
427864 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . A 45.00
4 Charterhouse Suite—Ralph Vaughan Williams/
arr. James Brown. Ralph Vaughan Williams'
charming suite of dances in the English style
is a mainstay of the string orchestra concert
repertoire. Adapted in collaboration with the
composer from the 1921 Suite of Six Short
Pieces. The scoring is colorful and lighthearted,
providing artistic and pedagogical opportunities
for moderately advanced students. New edition
and engraving.
10873332 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . A 90.00
e Day of Wrath—Giuseppe Verdi/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. Day of Wrath (translated from
the Latin "Dies Irae") with its dramatic extremes
of emotion is a great choice for any concert or
festival. This setting by Verdi in his Requiem Mass
was first performed in 1874. Repeated 16th notes
are used extensively along with divided parts to
create a full, sonorous effect with huge dynamic
contrasts from the fortissimo opening to the
morendo ending.

10738971 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
4e Finale from Symphony No. 5—Pyotr Ilyich
Tchaikovsky/arr. Brian Holmes. The finale of
Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 5" is a fantastic
orchestral movement. It is very grand in nature
and appears to reflect Tchaikovsky's nationalist
writing tendencies. The work opens with a
powerful theme that moves to an aggressive
faster section. Beautiful melodies are introduced,
building to a majestic return of the opening
theme. The movement closes with a strong and
exciting finale. Includes optional timpani.

H Hoe Down (from "Rodeo")—Aaron Copland.

most recognized orchestral works. Here is the
string orchestra version based on the original, for
advanced string players.
167221 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . A 45.50
Holberg Suite, Op. 40 (Set of Parts Only)—
Edvard Grieg. This very popular five-movement
suite for string orchestra is one of Grieg's most
beloved works.

e L'estro Armonico—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Bob
Lipton. Originally written as a concerto for two
violins, cello and strings, the piece was later
arranged by Bach as a concerto for solo organ.
This thoughtful arrangement draws on both
versions and showcases the genius of these two
giants.

10454314 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
le March to the Scaffold—Hector Berlioz/arr.
J. Cameron Law. Written in 1830, Berlioz's
Symphonie Fantastique depicts the life of a
troubled artist searching for true love, only to
end in despair. In March to the Scaffold, the
artist dreams he has killed his true love and is
condemned to death by execution. The March
alternates the sound of heavy footsteps with wild
outbursts. This arrangement for string orchestra
will introduce your students to a great classic in
orchestral music literature.

4 The Merry Wives of Windsor (Themes
from the Overture)—Otto Nicolai/arr. Steve
Frackenpohl. "The Merry Wives of Windsor" is
a German opera written by Otto Nicolai in 1845,
based on the Shakespearean comedy of the
same name. The Overture is a success in its own
right, and even inspired a short film produced by
conductor Johnny Green that won the Oscar for
Best Short Subject in 1954. This energetic Grade
4 arrangement contains many themes from the
overture and makes for a great concert opener.
10858504 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . MA 52.00
le Mother Goose Suite—Maurice Ravel/arr.
Carrie Lane Gruselle. For the more advanced
yet young-at-heart musicians, Mother Goose
Suite brings five French children's tales to life in
this 20th-century masterpiece. Ravel's signature
sophisticated lushness flows with simple
elegance in this abridged arrangement. The
scenes described are: Pavane of the Sleeping
Beauty; Tom Thumb; Empress of the Pagodas;
The Conversation of Beauty and the Beast and
The Enchanted Garden. An incredible centerpiece
for your next concert.

H Night on Bald Mountain—Mussorgsky/arr. Eric
Segnitz. Thrilling! Well-known in its full orchestra
version or from its scenes in Disney's "Fantasia,"
this arrangement is scored for string orchestra
with optional piano or organ, percussion, and
timpani! This is a dynamic rendition that could
open or close any concert!

le Preludio to La Traviata (from "Sonata in
D")—Giuseppi Verdi/arr. Robert D. McCashin.
Based on Alexander Dumas's tragic work, the
prelude to Verdi's opera "La Traviata" is a gut-
wrenchingly powerful piece. While rather brief,
the work demands a full range of emotions from
the players and is a stunningly beautiful addition
to any program.
