Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite No. 1 is the
perfect addition to the classical repertoire
for string orchestra and gives young
players great exposure to lesser-known
masterpieces. With plenty of study in scale
technique, bowing, and overall musicianship

Pavane—Gabriel Faure/arr. John O'Neill. Such
an emotive arrangement for your group! John
O'Neill brings this work to an accessible level
for maturing players by setting it in the key
of G minor, yet maintains its Impressionistic
elegance. The muted intention of Faure's
work begs that the pizzicato bass lines not be
rushed, lest the effect be disturbed. Optional solo
features may not leave a dry eye in the house!

Seasons" weaves solo melodies from the
second and third movements into one spirited

and excitement of this well-known piece.
The influence of Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov,

Pulcinella—Igor Stravinsky/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. Featuring the overture of
Stravinsky's landmark work, this adaptation
was drawn from the original piano/vocal ballet
score and retains all of the original, well-
known thematic and rhythmic material. This
outstanding string arrangement is an ideal way
to feature several soloists within the ensemble.

10752903 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
The Red Pony—Aaron Copland/arr. Erik
Morales. The mere mention of the name
Copland suggests American music. Most
familiar is his ballet suite "Rodeo," but his film
score to the movie "The Red Pony" is just
as enjoyably characteristic. "The Red 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 your students play the music of
one of America's greatest composers!

The Rite of Spring Themes—Igor Stravinsky/
arr. Bob Lipton. When "The Rite of Spring"
was first performed in Paris in 1913, it created
shock waves not only in the theater where it
was performed, but throughout the world of
music. It is one of the most revolutionary and
significant pieces of music of the 20th century.
This arrangement tries to stay as close to
Stravinsky's vision as possible while allowing
the opportunity for students to perform a piece
which sounds just as fresh today as it did
almost a century ago.

arr. John Caponegro. Grade 4 groups will

10027372 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
Scherzo (from the "F-A-E" Sonata for Violin
and Piano)—Johannes Brahms/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. A masterful arrangement of this
classic Brahms violin sonata for string orchestra
- all the thrilling highs and despondent lows are
represented. "F-A-E" refers to the Romantic
German "frei aber einsam" which translates to
"free but lonely" or "free but alone."

Serenade for Strings, Op. 22 (Second Move-
ment)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Jeremy
Woolstenhulme. This elegant arrangement

known, graceful waltz.

Serenade for Strings—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr.
Richard Meyer. Very faithful to the original
but arranged with the younger player in mind,

challenge every section of your orchestra.
The lyrical opening section will develop their
expressive playing and bow control, while
the bustling main theme will give everyone's
fingers a great technical workout. A terrific

Paisiello/arr. Robert D. McCashin. Enrich your
students' knowledge of classical literature and
playing techniques with this excellent and
authentic arrangement of the classic work by

1700s, Giovani Paisiello. Spiccato and hooked
bowing techniques abound along with dotted

11355600 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .15.00
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.

11355753 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 8.00

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.

Mendelssohn Hensel/arr. Daniel Levitov. This
work, originally titled Lied, comes from a set of

composer. The dynamics and expressive
markings of the original piano version have, for
the most part, been preserved.
