H Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")—Sergei
Prokofiev/arr. Stephen Wieloszynski. This charming
number takes its name from a Russian sleigh called
a "troika," pulled by three horses and common in
wintertime. The melody is really quite familiar,
bright and bouncy as it evokes the sleigh. Parts are
carefully edited for school age players, and many
techniques are included, but can be omitted if too
hard. Optional percussion parts are included. This
would be a great choice for a wintertime concert!

l Waltz from "Masquerade Suite"—Aram
Khachaturian/arr. Lynne Latham. This whimsical
theme is perfect for teaching intervals and
chromatic fingerings. Violas use half position, and
first violins will shift to third position. Cellos and
violas are featured in the second theme, and this
abridged arrangement omits the middle section.
A great Halloween concert selection for a capable
high school or community orchestra.

H 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.

Zampa Overture—J. Ferdinand Herold/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. The overture from
"Zampa," an opera by Ferdinand Herold, has
become a staple of orchestral literature since its
first performance in 1831. Just under four minutes,
this arrangement presents four themes from the
original and contains lots of drama and even more
excitement. The key of G major provides easily
accessible third-position work for the first violins
and shifting for cello and bass. A great concert or
festival selection!

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

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.

ment)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert D. McCashin.

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.

4 Allegro in D Major—Michael Haydn/arr. Robert

D. McCashin. The first movement from Mozart's

between his graceful lyricism and his signature
tempestuous energy. This shockingly authentic
arrangement allows your string students to
experience all the intensity of the original without
having to bring in wind players.

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.

Verdi/arr. Deborah Baker Monday. This iconic piece
by Giuseppe Verdi is presented here in B minor and

the optional percussion parts add a true symphonic
flair and the anvil parts are easy enough to be
played by a parent or guest.

Spanish themes. A terrific addition as a primary
work for any concert!
