Hungarian Dance No. 1—Johannes Brahms/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Brahms captures the
fire and passion of Romanian culture in these
folk songs set to dance styles. Intensity and
drama is created with dynamic exaggeration,
abrupt tempo changes, and contrasting bow
styles. An excellent way to encourage students
to listen and watch the conductor as they
engage with all the wonderfully rich sections of
the piece.

Infernal Galop (from Orpheus in the Under-
world, Act 2)—Jacques Offenbach/arr.
Steven Frackenpohl. From "Orpheus in the
Underworld," Act II by Jacques Offenbach, this
Grade 3.5 arrangement keeps the brilliance
and excitement of the original. And of course,
the instantly recognizable can-can section is
featured as well. Duration 2:15

Jupiter (from "The Planets")—Gustav Holst/
arr. John Caponegro. This arrangement of
Jupiter is a challenging piece for medium and
medium-advanced groups. While not quite
contemporary in style, the piece is modern
enough in concept to allow students the chance
to experience alternate treatments of themes
and motifs. A perfect concert piece for any
performance venue.

La Bella Cubana—Jose White/arr. Robert
Debbaut. In addition to numerous etudes and
a virtuosic violin concerto, violinist Joseph
(Jose) White Lafitte composed this habanera
for two violins, La Bella Cubana. In this string
orchestra arrangement, the lyrical melodic
solos are spread throughout the orchestra
and traditional Cuban dance rhythms in the
middle theme capture the vibrant joy of the
original work.

11500398 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 9.50
La Forza del Destino Overture—Giuseppe
Verdi/arr. Michael Hopkins. The overture to
La Forza Del Destino was composed when
Italian composer, Giuseppe Verdi, revised his
opera for a performance at La Scala in 1869.
This arrangement captures the full range of
thematic contrasts and emotion present in the
original and will be challenging and rewarding
for developing orchestras. Verdi intended the
opening agitated theme to represent fate,
and this melodic them unifies many different
thematic ideas in the overture. A musical
metaphor for the force of destiny - chaotic on
the surface, yet logical and coherent in the
depth of its design.

La Rejouissance, Sarabande, and Gigue
(from Suite TWV 55: D8)—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 (from "Swan Lake")—
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 treach-
erous 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 (Themes)—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr.
Chris M. Bernotas. Your symphony orchestra

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!

Mock Morris—Percy Grainger/arr. Sandra
Dackow. "Always merry and bright" is how
Grainger described this cheerful tune!

Morris Dance, this completely original work
has all the energy and spirit of a Brandenburg
Concerto. Delightful!

power and grace of this symphonic masterwork!

explore one of the most well-known pieces in
the repertoire.

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.

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.

An Ode to Joy Festival (Multi-level)—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.

in educational ensembles. The lush sounds of
Tchaikovsky will elevate student orchestras
and celebrate student soloists.

Orient et Occident (Grand March)—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.

Overture from The Thieving Magpie (La
gazza ladra)—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.
