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.

Lake in the Moonlight—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr.
Robert Longfield. This well-known theme from
Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" is beautiful,
mysterious, and filled with emotion. Arranged
for string orchestra with a solo violin, this classic
symphonic melody provides opportunities for
playing cantabile and espressivo.

Maelstrom—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. A treacherous
storm motif acts as the undercurrent to quotes
from famous water-themed compositions, including
Smetana's Die Moldau, the haunting Aquarium from
Saint-Sans' Carnival of the Animals, and a traditional
Irish sea chantey as melodies overlap in this musical
storm. Developing players will refine articulation
skills while navigating some shifting, chromatic
lines, and a variety of rhythms in 6/8 time.

March Slav—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Chris M.
Bernotas. Your symphony orchestra will love this
iconic march. Scored for full orchestra or strings
only, this arrangement features great themes and
a big symphonic sound. With a reduced number of
wind parts, this accessible piece is truly a wonderful
choice for a departmental collaboration or festival.

Marche Slav—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Carrie Lane
Gruselle. Tchaikovsky's most famous march
exemplifies the spirit of 19th century nationalism
as it was growing in Europe. This exceptional
arrangement set in A minor (a more comfortable
key than the original Bb minor) has all the elements
of the original and lets your orchestra shine without
the need of winds and percussion. A dramatic and
memorable addition to any concert!
10047947 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
10047948 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .5.00
Mock Morris—Percy Grainger/arr. Sandra
Dackow. "Always merry and bright" is how
Grainger described this cheerful tune! Composed
in the style of the traditional English Morris Dance,
this completely original work has all the energy and
spirit of a Brandenburg Concerto. Delightful!

Music from "Carmina Burana"—Carl Orff/

movements of this century, Carl Orff's grand
work for chorus and orchestra has been brilliantly
adapted with this first-ever edition for string
orchestra. Let your students enjoy the the power
and grace of this symphonic masterwork!

Night on Bald Mountain—Modest Mussorgsky/

sound remarkably authentic yet extremely playable,
this setting offers the opportunity to explore one of
the most well-known pieces in the repertoire.

11349027 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.00
Nimrod—Edward Elgar/arr. Mitchell Bender. This
ninth variation from Elgar's "Enigma Variations"
is the most played and most beautiful of the
variations. Due to its overwhelming expressive
quality, it has become England's counterpart to
Adagio for Strings, being played when music
of great emotion and dignity is called for in that
country. This fine arrangement moves the key
center from Eb to the more string-friendly D. With
some very nice divisi writing, this makes an ideal
choice for any string orchestra, and especially nice
for larger or combined string orchestras.
2471555 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .56.00
2476125 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .6.00
Nimrod—Sir Edward Elgar/arr. Bud Caputo. A
wonderful string arrangement of this beloved work,
Nimrod is the ninth variation from Elgar's Enigma
Variations. This setting is ideal for contest.

11200186 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .9.00
An Ode to Joy Festival—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Todd Parrish. Experience the thrill of Beethoven's
original symphony in this multi-level arrangement for
string or full orchestra! Beginners will feel successful
playing the familiar melody from their method
book accompanied by a brilliant arrangement
for intermediate and advanced orchestras. This
abbreviated version is long enough to highlight the
best moments but short enough to use as a grand
finale for any pyramid concert. Optional high school
level wind and brass parts are highly encouraged but
not required for performance.

Orient et Occident—Camille Saint-Saens/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. This brilliant march in
grand concert style works beautifully for strings!
A powerful melodic line combines with strong
rhythms and moving harmonic shifts as the piece
unfolds, moving toward an energetic coda.

11203117 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .5.00
Overture from The Thieving Magpie—
Gioachino Rossini/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle.
The Thieving Magpie is one of Rossini's most
memorable and exciting opera overtures. After an
aggressive and militaristic introduction comes the
drama and intrigue surrounding a story centered
on the theft of a silver spoon! Students will explore
a full range of expression and bow strokes in this
expertly orchestrated arrangement.

10877052 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .5.00
Passo Mezzo—Ottorino Respighi/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. This authentic and accessible final
movement of Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances,
Suite No. 1 is the perfect addition to the classical
repertoire for string orchestra and gives young players
great exposure to lesser-known masterpieces. With
plenty of study in scale technique, bowing, and
overall musicianship in just 61 measures, this will
surely be a favorite of musicians and audiences.
There are olo opportunities, and every section gets
to flex its muscles.
11349016 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
11349017 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .5.00
Pavane—Gabriel Faure/arr. John O'Neill. Such
an emotive arrangement for your group! John
O'Neill brings this work to an accessible level
for maturing players by setting it in the key of G
minor, yet maintains its Impressionistic elegance.
The muted intention of Faure's work begs that the
pizzicato bass lines not be rushed, lest the effect be
disturbed. Optional solo features may not leave a
dry eye in the house!

10091984 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . .5.00
Peer Gynt Suite—Edvard Grieg/arr. Carrie Lane
Gruselle. The "Peer Gynt Suite" themes are among
the most recognizable in classical history - many
of us have Saturday morning cartoons to thank for
the initial exposure. This arrangement of the four
movements by Gruselle contains: Morning Mood;
Aase's Death; Anitra's Dance and In the Hall of the
Mountain King.

arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. This ambitious setting of

orchestra! Selections include: Promenade; The
Gnome; The Old Castle; The Tuileries Gardens
- Children Quarrelling at Play; The Ballet of the
Unhatched Chicks; The Hut of Baba-Yaga and
The Great Gate of Kiev. Play some or all as perfect
centerpiece for your next concert. A stunning way
to introduce students to Mussorgsky's masterwork!

Polka from Czech Suite—Antonin Dvorak/arr.
Robert D. McCashin. Drawn from Dvorak's famous
Czech Suite, this delightful arrangement perfectly
captures the personality of the original while making
the piece accessible to medium-level orchestras.
Predominantly in a minor key with a festive, short,
and lively trio in the major mode, this work is sure
to be enjoyed by all!

Creating Excellence
in Choirs and
Orchestras
Dennis Shrock. Noted scholar
and conductor Dennis Shrock
uncovers the key factors and
proven strategies that lead to the
achievement of excellence in music
ensembles at any level. With the
use of historical references and
examples, this book lays out 14
elements that contribute to an
ensemble's success: goals, focus,
attitudes, structures, procedures,
responsibility, ontology, study,
warm-ups, sound, cohesion,
expression, conducting, and
repertoire. While it highlights the
choral and orchestral mediums
specifically, all concepts can be
applied to any type of ensemble,
and the recommendations are
not exclusively for the benefit of
conductors. Music teachers, church
musicians, ensemble members,
and administrative staff will glean
wisdom from these pages as well.
Excellence is an attainable goal
for anyone with a vision, and this
insightful text guides readers as
they embark on their own quest for
musical excellence.
