arr. Robert Frost. Everyone knows and loves
the music of "Carmen," and this Habanera

all! That descending chromatic line becomes
play, not work, when it's part of something this
enjoyable, and each section of the orchestra
gets a great part. Give your students the
chance to play this one this year! (Single Red
Rose and Castanets not included!)

Frederick Handel/arr. Richard Meyer. This
Baroque masterpiece is one of the most
popular and recognizable pieces of its time!

the flavor of Handel's original in a very easy-
to-play format, and is great for teaching early

Eyes comes from Part II of Mendelssohn's
Elijah. In the oratorio, it is sung by a trio of
angels, sent down to instill hope. Ms. LaBrie
arranged this work in honor of Sigrid Johnson,
director of the Manitou Singers at St. Olaf
College from 1983-2015.

Little Russian March—P.I. Tchaikovsky/

Tchaikovsky symphonic march is ideal for

ensemble piece from Robert Longfield.
Lots of dynamic and style changes in a
comfortable march tempo make it terrific
teaching and performance music from one
of the grand masters of the symphonic
orchestral style.

of long melodic phrases in the approachable
key of G major.

Mozart Symphony No. 40 (First Movement)
—W.A. Mozart/arr. John Caponegro. Mozart's

Music for the Renaissance Faire—Tielman
Susato & Giorgio Mainerio/arr. Mekel Rogers.
A miniature suite for young string orchestra
that can be used for festival or as contrasting
concert selections. Both movements are
authentic dances from the Renaissance period.
Les Quatre Branles was written by Tielman
Susato in the 1570s, and Schiarazula Marazula
is a medieval folk dance which was transcribed
in 1582 by Italian composer Giorgio Mainerio.
Optional tambourine adds an additional
Renaissance flavor.

11201820 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Non dite mai—Valentinus Bakfark/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. This robust Renaissance
dance in 3/4 brings a lesser-known composer
and a less-performed musical genre to the
fore. The first section is Allegro, followed by a
Presto section. A great selection for teaching
form, independent playing, high third finger,
and hooked bowing. Optional hand drum and
tambourine parts add a level of authenticity
and color.

timeless melodies while remaining in
first position.

Percentage of Error (The Prince of Denmark
March)—Jeremiah Clarke/arr. Bob Phillips.
This arrangement of The Prince of Denmark
March, or Trumpet Voluntary, provides the
perfect setting for advocacy and striving for
excellence since it is so recognizable. Three
different versions of the final eight bars,
containing incorrect notes, are included. Each
version contains an increasing percentage of
correct pitches. Each represents a different
letter grade. Play all four versions and then
explain to parents and administration that the
A+, 100 percent correct version is what we do
every day in orchestra. All sections play the
melody in this piece, providing a solid musical
setting in a novelty piece. (2:00)
