H The Abduction from the Seraglio—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.

Andante Festivo—Jean Sibelius/arr. James
Richards. Originally composed for string quartet
in 1922, Andante festivo was rescored by the
composer in 1938 for string orchestra with
timpani. The work emphasizes the warmth and
rich sonority of the string orchestra, reflecting a
hymnlike ceremonial quality. Broad lyrical phrases
explore a wide range of dynamic contrast,
phrasing, bow distribution, and orchestral color.

develop confidence in each section and in each
individual player. Recorded by the Michigan State
University Orchestra on the CD Teaching Music
Through Performance in Orchestra, Volume 1 -

Brandenburg Concerto No. 2—J.S. Bach/arr.
Todd Parrish. The harmonic beauty and seamless
polyphony of Bach's second Brandenburg
Concerto has been retained in this very true
string orchestra adaptation of the original. Wind
solos are given to principal violin, viola, and cello
players, and all sections get energetic lines and
interesting material to challenge students in their
mastery of the authentic Baroque playing style.

Concerto Grosso Op. 6, No. 8—Arcangelo
Corelli/arr. Todd Parrish. Subtitled Fatto per
la notte di Natale, or "made for the night of
Christmas," Corelli's Christmas Concerto stands
as one of the finest concerti grossi of the Baroque
era. All solo parts have been incorporated into a
string orchestra version that retains the original
key signatures. This collection contains three of
the movements in fast, slow, fast format.

Danse Macabre—Camille Saint-Saens/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. The clock strikes
midnight, a ghostly fiddler plays eerie tones,
and skeletons dance until the rooster crows at
dawn. Perfect for Halloween or as a change of
pace for any time of year!

Danza Ritual del Fuego—Manuel de Falla/
arr. Douglas E. Wagner. The arrangement from
Manuel de Falla's brilliant ballet El amor brujo
reflects all of the tonal color and Spanish flair of
the composer's original. Characteristic rhythms
and harmonic progressions combine with a
variety of string techniques, providing players
with the makings of a surefire concert or contest
success. Includes a required piano part.

Hoe Down—Aaron Copland/arr. Stephen
Bulla. Everyone knows this one! Hoedown has
become a classic American symphonic work,
and its unique sound has become a trademark
of composer Aaron Copland. This fine edition
has been carefully crafted for string orchestra,
allowing developing groups to experience the joy
of performing one of the most popular works of

La Forza del Destino Overture—Giuseppe
Verdi/arr. Michael Hopkins. The overture to La
Forza Del Destino was composed when Italian
composer, Giuseppe Verdi, revised his opera
for a performance at La Scala in 1869. This
arrangement captures the full range of thematic
contrasts and emotion present in the original and
will be challenging and rewarding for developing
orchestras. Verdi intended the opening agitated
theme to represent fate, and this melodic them
unifies many different thematic ideas in the
overture. A musical metaphor for the force of
destiny - chaotic on the surface, yet logical and
coherent in the depth of its design.

Larghetto and Allegro—George Frideric
Handel/arr. Robert D. McCashin. This
outstanding pair of contrasting movements shifts

exceptional opportunity to work on the music of
Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities
for musical development.

1812 Overture—Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. This magnificent and
meticulously presented arrangement includes the
gorgeous opening in the original key of E-flat major,
the exciting C minor imitative, and the transitional
section arriving at the iconic military theme. A
unique offering of favorite themes that culminate
in a spectacular finale. Optional percussion. Cello
part splits into cello 1 and 2, both divisi.

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
written as the slow movement of a string
quartet, this 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.
