Rosamunde Overture—Franz Schubert/arr.
Richard Meyer. Schubert composed his incidental
music to the Romantic drama "Rosamunde,
Princess of Cypress" in less than three weeks,
finishing just two days before the play's premiere
in December of 1823. Not much time was left to
rehearse the music, and no time at all to compose
an overture. In fact, Schubert never did compose
an overture to Rosamunde, but instead used an
overture already composed for the drama "The
Magic Harp." While Rosamunde survived for only
two performances, Schubert's charming music
lives on. Festive and lyrical themes abound in this
very playable arrangement that has been carefully
crafted to preserve the sound of the original. A great
way to introduce your students to one of the early
Romantic period's great masters!

Bilisario Errante. A very playable arrangement
of this Russian folk dance. Starting at a medium

The Sorcerer's Apprentice—Paul Dukas/arr.
Andrew Balent. This orchestral classic was the
only selection to be featured in the original Fantasia
film and sixty years later in Fantasia 2000! Now it
is arranged in a version your students can play.
Playable by string orchestra or full orchestra, this
arrangement avoids much of the introductory
material to get right into the most familiar parts.

genre. Richard Meyer's arrangement of this classic
symphony is carefully arranged to work well with

Symphony No. 5—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Richard Meyer. Haunting, ominous, and
playful, this Scherzo movement from Beethoven's
famous Symphony No. 5 has it all. Students will
love the stirring harmonies and driving rhythms
while the colorful orchestration - faithful to the
original - keeps brass, woodwinds, strings, and
percussion involved throughout. An opportunity for
your orchestra to experience a glorious moment in
symphonic history!

audiences and is an excellent way to introduce your
students to a too-often neglected time signature.

Finlandia—Jean Sibelius/arr. Owen Goldsmith.
There's a cold mystique about this work from
Finland's most famous composer, but at its heart is
a warmth that overflows with beauty. Well known to
many listeners, Finlandia displays a strong sense of
nationalistic strength in its mighty brass and soaring
strings. Owen Goldsmith's adaptation eliminates
a few of the technical difficulties and includes
generous cross-cuings. The brass double tonguing
is still there, but so is all the power!
