CLASSICAL SELECTIONS medium-easy
Molly on the Shore—Percy Grainger/arr.
Sandra Dackow. A rollicking good time!
Not another "Celtic clone," this is actually a
setting of two Irish reels Grainger arranged
for string quartet in 1907. It retains much of
its quartet flavor by giving each section lots
to do. But don't worry, the second violins
and violas remain in first position throughout.
The Dackow/Grainger combination ensures
a crowd-pleaser that you can feel confident
programming! Very nice!

are uniquely Grieg and will provide a welcome
challenge to intermediate players.

Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Tom Fritz. Feel the power
of "The Tempest Of The Sea" (Vivaldi) in this

crossings, accidentals, and a variety of bow
articulations. First violins shift to third position.

festival addition! (2:20)

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

note rhythms, and slurs. A beautiful concert

Rondeau No. 3—Joseph Bologne/arr.
Robert Debbaut. This lively Rondeau from
Bologne's Six String Quartets, op. 1 is a
classic seven-part rondo in G major, D
major, and G minor. As was typical of the
Classical style, the melody is heard mainly in
the first violin while the other sections provide
supporting harmonic and rhythmic roles.
The essence of the string quartet scoring is
retained by having the bass double the cello
part, resulting in a charming and accessible
concert selection.

This expressive rubato arrangement builds
to a dramatic climax, weaving the beauty of
