H The Abduction from the Seraglio (Overture)—
W.A. Mozart/arr. Jamin Hoffman. From the comic
opera filled with pirates, Turkish princes, kidnapping
and daring rescues, Mozart's "The Abduction from
the Seraglio" is the piece of music that generated
the (possibly fictional) "too many notes" story. It
is written in the Turkish "janissary" style, a style
of music that fascinated Europe at the time. In
this arrangement, the right hand of the piano is
frequently written 8va to help re-create the piccolo
that figured prominently in the original.

Allegretto (from "The Creatures of Prome-
theus")—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Rick
England. Absolutely perfect for cross-curricular
study in middle school or high school! Prometheus,
through trickery, stole fire from Zeus, gave it to
mortals and was punished daily for eternity for his
crime. Beethoven's melody itself has a bit of trickery
and a good deal of moxy as it weaves through each
section of the orchestra. The story and Beethoven's
marvelous music will provide good discussion
among the players and even your audience.

Allegretto Grazioso—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert
Sieving. Here's the 3rd movement from Symphony
#8," one of Dvorak's most famous works and
it certainly carries his penchant for memorable
melodies! Allegretto Grazioso, is actually based
on a song from an earlier opera, and the coda
in a faster tempo recalls the Slavonic Dances.
These infectiously joyous melodies will be loved by
students and audiences alike.

characteristic "trumpet" sound of the original, and
a delightful concert selection for string orchestra!
