Apocalyptic (Finale from Symphony No. 8)—
Anton Bruckner/arr. Kirk Moss. All the power and
force of the Finale of Bruckner's Eighth Symphony
is masterfully captured in this authentic and first-
ever arrangement for string orchestra. Mature
players will have the opportunity to expand on
their shifting and vibrato technique as well as
overall musicianship by exploring varying bow
weights and speeds to create the wide variety of
tone and dynamics that are required. An optional
timpani part greatly enhances the intensity.
A great addition to the classical repertoire!

Aurora's March (Prologue from Sleeping
Beauty Ballet, Act I)—Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky/
arr. Caryn Wiegand Neidhold. Peter Ilyich
Tchaikovsky's three masterpiece ballet scores,
including Sleeping Beauty, are known for their
timeless music. This arrangement for string
orchestra captures the enduring melodies and
great depth of Tchaikovsky's genius. Because
much of Tchaikovsky's style is not written with
articulations, students will need assistance with the
bow stroke in order to perform this incredible piece.
This march, which follows the overture in the ballet,
was renamed Aurora's March for this arrangement.

Capriol Suite—Peter Warlock. This staple of the
string orchestra repertoire, composed in 1927,
is based on a suite of six Renaissance dances.
Each dance offers a different mood and rhythm,
and together they form an excellent concert work.

Danse Negre from African Suite, Op. 35,
No. 4—Samuel Coleridge-Taylor/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was
extraordinary in his use of themes from African
American folk music, and his success contributed
to the empowerment of African American
musicians and composers who came after him.
The final movement from a larger work, this
high-energy piece is one spectacular example of
Coleridge-Taylor's talent. Fingerings are clearly
marked to facilitate technical passages. This is a
perfect concert closer!

Fantasia Espanola—Issac Albeniz, Francisco
Tarrega & Manuel de Falla/arr. Bob Phillips. A
spellbinding exploration of the music of Spain,
these four exciting yet contrasting sections offer
challenging parts for all players. From unrelenting
rhythmic drive to beautifully lyric emotion, three of
Spain's most famous composers are represented
in this rewarding medley of Asturias Leyenda;
Tango in D; Adelita and Danza Ritual del Fuego.

Fidelio Overture—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr.
Todd Parrish. The Fidelio Overture was written
in 1814 to open Beethoven's only opera by the
same name. This string orchestra arrangement
is transposed from the original E major to the
more approachable key of D major. It retains
the original opening which alternates between
powerful majestic bursts and lyrical harmonic
progressions, finishing with the energetic
presto to the end. Optional timpani gives this
arrangement a symphonic quality that closely
resembles the original.

Ghosts of Brandenburg—Richard Meyer.
Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the
Brandenburg Concerti! This arrangement
captures the spirit of the original works, but
sets most of them in minor keys or uses darker
tones, pizzicato, and meter changes J.S. Bach
may never have imagined. This is inventive and
challenging work will take your intermediate
strings on a nine-minute journey that will build
their endurance along with their musicality.

The Inner Planets (Themes from Mercury,
Venus, and Mars)—Gustav Holst/arr. Carrie
Lane Gruselle. This cleverly titled work includes
three famous themes from "The Planets." The
swooping, fluttery sounds of Mercury, the Winged
Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters
and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The
arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato
and dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War.

La Tempesta di Mare—Antonio Salieri/arr.
Stephen Chin. The overture to "Cesare in
Farmacusa," an opera that tells of the boy Julius
Caesar's journey by sea in a treacherous storm
to Farmacusa, near Sicily. The plot abounds
with pirates, gypsy lovers, and of course, Roman
gods, all of which provided much entertainment
to the audiences at the time.

The Pines of the Appian Way (from "Pines
of Rome")—Ottorino Respighi/arr. Douglas
E. Wagner. All the shrouded mystery and
resplendent grandeur of the fourth movement of
Respighi's masterpiece Pines of Rome have been
effectively captured in this brilliant arrangement
for string orchestra and timpani (required). (4:50)

Sinfonia in G Major—Michael Haydn/arr.
Thomas LaJoie. Michael Haydn, Franz Joseph
Haydn's younger brother, was also a composer.
For this piece, the arranger has added direction
to a score that previously lacked dynamics. The
orchestra should play the eighth notes spiccato.
The sixteenth notes have to be exact (middle or
slightly below the middle of the bow to give the
aural illusion of bounce to make it sparkle). Make
sure to save some sound for the long crescendo.

Sinfonia No. 15—J.S. Bach/arr. Shirl Jae Atwell.
The last of a collection of 15 sinfonias for clavier,
this wonderfully scored arrangement for advanced
string orchestra will stretch your players' technical
boundaries, teach subdivision, and expand their
knowledge of Baroque repertoire.

Symphony No. 2, Mvt. 2—William Grant Still/
arr. Todd Parrish. Premiered in 1937 by the
Philadelphia Orchestra, this symphony, subtitled
"Song of a New Race," infuses elements of
blues and jazz into the classical form, creating
a uniquely blended sound to reflect Stills' vision
of an increasingly diverse American culture.
Originally composed for full orchestra, this slightly
abridged second movement for string orchestra
includes the original harp part, honoring the
legacy of one of America's greatest composers.

Symphony No. 86: Finale—Franz Joseph
Haydn/arr. Bill Scott. Taken from one of the six
Paris Symphonies commissioned by Comte
d'Ogny and the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, this
arrangement of the Finale is very close to the
original string parts and offers many opportunities
for students to refine their style of performing
music from the Classical period.
