CLASSICAL medium-advanced & advanced
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.

Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral—Richard
Wagner/arr. Matthew Moreno. Introduce your
orchestra and audience to this passionate
arrangement from Wagner's famous opera,
"Lohengrin." This transcription keeps the textures
and colors amazingly true to the full operatic
score while featuring solo violin and cello. Equally
powerful for chamber orchestras or large string
orchestras, this work is sure to make a profound
impact at your performance. Stunning!

Fantasia on Greensleeves—Ralph Vaughan
Williams/arr. Ralph Greaves. Here is the
original and beloved fantasia that calls for string
orchestra, harp, and two soloists-usually flutes
but often substituted with violins. This lush
arrangement of the English folksong is a classic
in the string repertoire and a wonderful example
of the Vaughan Williams sound. A must-have for
every orchestra library!

4 Fidelio Overture—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr.
Todd Parrish. The Fidelio Overture was written
in 1814 to open Beethoven's only opera by the
same name. This string orchestra arrangement
is transposed from the original E major to the
more approachable key of D major. It retains
the original opening which alternates between
powerful majestic bursts and lyrical harmonic
progressions, finishing with the energetic
presto to the end. Optional timpani gives this
arrangement a symphonic quality that closely
resembles the original.

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 arrangement for string orchestra
captures the powerful melodies originally heard in
winds and brass. 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.

Fugue for String Orchestra (from "String
Quartet, Op. 8")—Paul Creston. Paul Creston's
writing has been a hallmark of contemporary
American music, ranging from chamber and
orchestral music to stage and film music. This
movement remains one of his most notable for
school string orchestra, adapted from a string
quartet by the composer himself. Here's a perfect
opportunity to introduce your students to fugal
writing in a contemporary style.

H
Ghosts of Brandenburg—Richard Meyer.
Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the
Brandenburg Concerti! This arrangement captures
the spirit of the original works, but sets most of them
in minor keys or uses darker tones, pizzicato, and
meter changes J.S. Bach may never have imagined.
This is inventive and challenging work will take your
intermediate strings on a nine-minute journey that
will build their endurance along with their musicality.

Hebrides Overture—Felix 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.

H Hoe Down (from "Rodeo")—Aaron Copland.
Hoe Down has become one of Aaron Copland's
most recognized orchestral works. Here is the
string orchestra version based on the original, for
advanced string players.

4 The Inner Planets (Themes from Mercury,
Venus, and Mars)—Gustav Holst/arr. Carrie
Lane Gruselle. This cleverly titled work includes
three famous themes from "The Planets." The
swooping, fluttery sounds of Mercury, the Winged
Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters
and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The
arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato
and dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War.

H Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana"
(Intermezzo Sinfonico)—Pietro Mascagni/arr.
Carl Simpson. Here is one of the most beautiful
moments in all of opera! This arrangement creates
a big, lush sound by writing divisi into every section
but the basses: 4 violin parts, 2 viola parts, and 2
cello parts, with some brief solo passages for the
concertmaster. Nothing held back here! Ideal for
combined string groups since the divisi passages
have simple parts. It's from the outstanding new
series "Stringmasters!"

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.

l L'Italiana In Algeri Overture—Gioachino Rossini/
arr. Andrew H. Dabczynski. Here is an appealing
string arrangement of Gioachino Rossini's famous
work. Careful scoring and performance options
make this overture approachable yet appropriately
challenging. Rossini's lighthearted and engaging
melodies make this an ideal selection for concert
or festival programs.

Magic Flute Overture—W.A. Mozart/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. In the final year of his life, Mozart
suffered many disappointments and had become
gravely ill. The success of this comedic opera
brought him not only substantial happiness but
also success. This abbreviated version of the
overture retains the original key of E-flat and all the
thematic material, harmonic substance and sound
of the original work while making it accessible for
an educational string group.

l Minstrels from "Preludes Book 1, No. 12—

video game about a mischievous goose, this title
has been expertly arranged for string orchestra by
Robert Longfield.

H Night on Bald Mountain—Modest 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!

l
Overture (from "Suite No. 3 in D Major")—J.S.
Bach/arr. Robert D. McCashin. This arrangement
embodies the full sound and spirit of the original
overture yet is orchestrated to take full advantage
of the string orchestra palette. A fabulous choice as
an opener, closer, or celebratory concert work.

Passacaglia—G.F. Handel/arr. Robert Frost.
Originally written for keyboard, this arrangement
showcases Handel's mastery of this Baroque form.
It freely treats most of the variations to incorporate
the use of a variety of string performance
techniques. The techniques, tempo changes, style
and position requirements for various sections
make it ideal for advancing groups.

l Reverie—Claude Debussy/arr. Samuel Gelfer.
One of Debussy's most recognized works, featured
in many films and television shows, including HBO's
Westworld. This lush string arrangement can be
played alongside the original solo piano piece,
with all the same lyrical flowing lines. Teaching
opportunities include challenging position work,
impressionistic tonalities, and advanced melodic
phrasing in this well-known ethereal melody.

11202218 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00
4 Rondo-Finale (from "Oktett Hob. X: 12)—
Franz Joseph Haydn/arr. Kevin Kaisershot. This
classic work was extracted from a larger scored
work that Joseph Haydn wrote while in the
service of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy. The original
work excludes the original wind parts, and playing
the Rondo-finale will introduce your students to
rondo form.

H Saint Paul's Suite—Gustav Holst. Best known
for his full orchestral suite "The Planets," Holst also
wrote some particularly beautiful string music. This
suite is a prime example of his writing based on
folk tunes. Unsimplified, this is a worthy piece for
the best of orchestras!
