German Dance No. 12—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. This is the final work
in a series Beethoven wrote in 1795, predating
his monumental symphonies. This arrangement
remains in the original key of C major and includes
much of the material from his extended coda
section. A very approachable selection that features
classical bowings and style without too much

Habanera—Georges Bizet/arr. Jerry Brubaker.
This aria, probably the most popular habanera
ever, lends itself in a superb fashion to the string
orchestra. Even in the opera score, the cello is the
anchor, providing the rhythmic and tonal structure
on which the aria is built. Incorporating many
special effects, including optional tambourine and
triangle, this new setting is as fun to play as it is to
listen to. Truly a must for any string library!

In Paradisum—Gabriel Faure/arr. Bob Lipton. The
last movement of Faure's Reqiuem in D Minor has
a transcendent beauty that will cause goose bumps
for audience members and performers alike. This
arrangement has a technical ease that leaves the
player free to concentrate on communicating Faure's
vision of emotion and expression. An optional harp/

Jupiter Reimagined—David Bobrowitz/arr. J.
Cameron Law. The four-note sequence C-D-F-E
can be heard as far back as ancient plainchant, as
in Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua. Mozart chose to
use this same note sequence as the starting point
in the exciting last movement of his final symphony,
the "Jupiter" Symphony No. 41. All the parts have
a great deal of interest and show off musical skill
and maturity. Exciting to play, conduct, and listen
to, this revisiting of a classic work will be the hit of
your concert!
11366065 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
La Rejouissance, Sarabande, and Gigue—
G.P. Telemann/arr. Robert D. McCashin. These
three movements: La Rejouissance, Sarabande,
and Gigue, are taken from Telemann's seven
movement Suite in D, originally composed for
trumpet and orchestra. An excellent introduction to
late Baroque style playing for intermediate students,
featuring contrasting tempos, dotted rhythms, and
compound time signatures in playable first position.
Includes violin 3 (viola in treble clef) and alternate
viola (violin 2 in alto clef) parts.

Griesinger. Bookended with the familiar strains of
Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik, this arrangement
combines familiar classical themes about night
and winter - including melodies from Vivaldi's

clef for flexible ensembles.

Marche de Triomphe—Marc-Antoine Charpentier/
arr. Robert Longfield. An excellent arrangement
of Marche de Triomphe, one of almost 800
compositions by French Baroque composer Marc-
Antoine Charpentier. Students will learn cut time,
dotted quarter rhythms, and reinforce low second
and high third fingerings. Solo opportunities are
offered for violin, viola, and cello. Timpani and piano
are optional for this arrangement, but both will add
to an authentic sound. This piece can be played
entirely in first position.

Molly on the Shore—Percy Grainger/arr. Sandra
Dackow. A rollicking good time! Not another
"Celtic clone," this is actually a setting of two
Irish reels Grainger arranged for string quartet
in 1907. It retains much of its quartet flavor by
giving each section lots to do. But don't worry, the
second violins and violas remain in first position
throughout. The Dackow/Grainger combination
ensures a crowd-pleaser that you can feel confident
programming! Very nice!

famous original with gentle Latin rhythms and some

Norwegian Dance No. 1, Op. 35—Edvard
Grieg/arr. Deborah Baker Monday. With its
playful scalewise motives and exciting dynamics,

are uniquely Grieg and will provide a welcome
challenge to intermediate players.

Ocean Storm—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Tom Fritz.
Feel the power of "The Tempest Of The Sea"
(Vivaldi) in this work for strings. Ascending and
descending passages with much call and response
depict the swells of the storm, while reinforcing
string crossings, accidentals, and a variety of bow
articulations. First violins shift to third position.
