The Red Pony—Aaron Copland/arr. Erik Morales.
The mere mention of the name Copland suggests
American music. Most familiar is his ballet suite

Pony" is based on a novel by John Steinbeck, and
this version is taken from the suite Copland created
out of his film score. Includes: Morning On The
Ranch; Dream March; Walk To The Bunkhouse
and Happy Ending. Don't miss this chance to let

allowing the opportunity for students to perform a
piece which sounds just as fresh today as it did
almost a century ago.

Sinfonie a Grande Orchestre: Allegro Molto—
Casimir Anton Cartellieri/arr. Robert McCashin.
Composer Casimir Anton Cartellieri's music was
all but forgotten following his death until the late
20th century when it was rediscovered. This great
arrangement, originally for full orchestra, is an
excellent opportunity to introduce players to this
great composer's music. It's also a wonderful
opportunity to introduce players to classical
performance techniques as well as the Sturm und
Drang style.

Dabcyznski. An arrangement of the first movement
from Franz Schubert's original composition for violin
and piano (op. 137, D. 384), composed in 1816
when he was just 20 years old. The petite and
intimate nature of the work earned it the description
"sonatina," and it has become a cornerstone of
young violinists' repertoire throughout the world.
