Polovtsian Dances—Alexander Borodin/arr.
Samuel Gelfer. These timeless melodies from
Alexander Borodin have been beautifully arranged
for strings and transposed to the friendlier key of
G major. This piece poses a challenge suitable
for advanced middle school orchestras, or a
good exercise in melodic shaping and tone
production for an intermediate high school
group. Major teaching features include triplets,
syncopation, ornaments, 16th-note rhythms, and
slurs. A beautiful concert selection for any time
of the year.

Shadow of Fate—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Jeffrey E. Turner. One of the best-known
compositions of the Classical period, the familiar

more delicate interpretation, creating a sense of
loneliness, loss, and heartbreak. This expressive
rubato arrangement builds to a dramatic climax,
weaving the beauty of Beethoven's genius into a
gentle lament.

arrangement avoids much of the introductory
material to get right into the most familiar parts.

Swan Lake—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Michael

Symphony No. 19—Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Written by a
16-year-old Mozart, this movement in rondo
form has distinct key centers to establish
hand patterns and excellent intonation. True to
the Classical style, the energetic melody and
accompaniment figures reinforce off-the-string
bowing and develop speed and facility. Rich with
pedagogical and musical opportunities!
