CLASSICAL medium
Nimrod—Edward Elgar/arr. Mitchell Bender. This
ninth variation from Elgar's "Enigma Variations"
is the most played and most beautiful of the
variations. Due to its overwhelming expressive
quality, it has become England's counterpart to
Adagio for Strings, being played when music
of great emotion and dignity is called for in that
country. This fine arrangement moves the key
center from Eb to the more string-friendly D. With
some very nice divisi writing, this makes an ideal
choice for any string orchestra, and especially nice
for larger or combined string orchestras.

Optional high school level wind and brass parts are
highly encouraged but not required for performance.

comes the drama and intrigue surrounding a story
centered on the theft of a silver spoon! Students will

in this expertly orchestrated arrangement.

Pavane—Gabriel Faure/arr. John O'Neill. Such
an emotive arrangement for your group! John
O'Neill brings this work to an accessible level
for maturing players by setting it in the key of G
minor, yet maintains its Impressionistic elegance.
The muted intention of Faure's work begs that the
pizzicato bass lines not be rushed, lest the effect be
disturbed. Optional solo features may not leave a
dry eye in the house!

Peer Gynt Suite (No. 1, Op. 46)—Edvard
Grieg/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. The "Peer Gynt
Suite" themes are among the most recognizable
in classical history - many of us have Saturday
morning cartoons to thank for the initial exposure.
This arrangement of the four movements by
Gruselle contains: Morning Mood; Aase's Death;
Anitra's Dance and In the Hall of the Mountain King.

- Children Quarrelling at Play; The Ballet of the

4 Prelude in G Minor (Op. 23 No. 5)—Sergei
Rachmaninoff/arr. Tanner Otto. This thrilling

that are as fun to play as they are to listen to. Great
for developing and refining the staccato bow stroke
and tone development.

Pulcinella—Igor Stravinsky/arr. Robert D.
McCashin. Featuring the overture of Stravinsky's
landmark work, this adaptation was drawn from
the original piano/vocal ballet score and retains all
of the original, well-known thematic and rhythmic
material. This outstanding string arrangement is
an ideal way to feature several soloists within
the ensemble.

H The Red Pony—Aaron Copland/arr. Erik Morales.
The mere mention of the name Copland suggests
American music. Most familiar is his ballet suite
"Rodeo," but his film score to the movie "The Red
Pony" is just as enjoyably characteristic. "The Red
Pony" is based on a novel by John Steinbeck, and
this version is taken from the suite Copland created
out of his film score. Includes: Morning On The
Ranch; Dream March; Walk To The Bunkhouse
and Happy Ending. Don't miss this chance to let
your students play the music of one of America's
greatest composers!

The Rite of Spring Themes—Igor Stravinsky/
arr. Bob 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.

Romanian Folk Dances—Bela Bartok/arr.
Monday. This arrangement features four of the
six dance movements as first arranged by Bartok.
Joc Cu Bata; Buciumeana; Poarga Romanesca and
Marunte are exotic-sounding and dramatic. These
are perfect for the medium level orchestra ready for
concert, contest, or just "wowing" the audience.

all the tempo changes that are idiomatic to this
characteristic dance. Three optional percussion
parts are included.

Serenade for Strings, Op. 22 (Second Move-
ment)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Jeremy Woolsten-

intermediate-level orchestras the opportunity to
perform a well-known, graceful waltz.

Serenade for Strings—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr.
Richard Meyer. Very faithful to the original but
arranged with the younger player in mind, this setting
of an orchestral staple is sure to challenge every
section of your orchestra. The lyrical opening section
will develop their expressive playing and bow control,
while the bustling main theme will give everyone's
fingers a great technical workout. A terrific way to
give your students a taste of musical history, this
piece makes a perfect closer or contest selection.

4 Sinfonia in D Major—Johann Christian Bach/arr.
Jim Palmer. This exciting arrangement from the
classical era features a wide range of dynamics and
articulations. Detailed fingerings and bowings will
help students achieve that distinct classical sound
and style of the period.

4 Sonatina in D—Franz Schubert/arr. Andrew
Dabcyznski. An arrangement of the first movement
from Franz Schubert's original composition for violin
and piano (op. 137, D. 384), composed in 1816
when he was just 20 years old. The petite and
intimate nature of the work earned it the description
"sonatina," and it has become a cornerstone of
young violinists' repertoire throughout the world.
