Dance of the Reed Flutes—P.I. Tchaikovsky/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Taken from Act II of
Tchaikovsky's timeless "Nutcracker" ballet, Carrie
Lane Gruselle's arrangement of Dance of the
Reed Flutes is a sugar-sprinkled "plum" for string
orchestras. It's a lively way to incorporate a traditional

10091971 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Deck the Hall of the Mountain King—Edvard
Grieg/arr. Richard Meyer. This totally unique (and
somewhat crazy!) selection will be the hit of your
holiday concert! Your audience will be delighted
when they hear what happens when the festive
Welsh carol Deck the Halls is combined with the
dark and mysterious In the Hall of the Mountain
King from Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite." Many key
playing skills including accidentals, tempo changes,
and important balance issues are reinforced
throughout. Sleigh bells and crash cymbals add just
the right amount of color to this fun, good-natured
seasonal work.

delightful medley: Maoz Tsur, Oseh Shalom, Svivon,

complete "Nutcracker" is performed every year
during the Christmas season, and the orchestral
suite is also a holiday favorite. This accessible
arrangement for string orchestra contains four
popular character dances from Act II of the ballet,
where Clara and the Prince travel to the Land of
Sweets that is ruled by the Sugar-Plum Fairy. These
light pieces of dance music celebrate sweets from
around the world and include chocolate from Spain,

canes from Russia.

Hanukkah Habanera—arr. Tim McCarrick.
"Carmen" meets Hanukkah in this remarkably
clever combination of The Dreidel Song; Hanukkah,
O Hanukkah and Bizet's famous Habanera from his
most famous opera! It all works amazingly well, with
shifts from minor to major, a seamless bass line,
and lots of tongue-in-cheek humor! What a hoot!
Highly recommended!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas—arr. Jerry
Brubaker. As both a film and a cartoon, "How the
Grinch Stole Christmas" has become an annual
tradition for kids and adults alike. This arrangement
begins with a bluesy, nasty version of You're a
Mean One, Mister Grinch, then moves into the
happier, more hopeful Welcome Christmas ("He
Carves the Roast Beast" or "Fa-hoo For-aze"). This
will really stop the show!
