The Abduction from the Seraglio (Overture)
—W.A. Mozart/arr. Jamin Hoffman. From the
comic opera filled with pirates, Turkish princes,
kidnapping and daring rescues, Mozart's The
Abduction from the Seraglio is the piece of
music that generated the (possibly fictional)
"too many notes" story. It is written in the
Turkish "janissary" style, a style of music
that fascinated Europe at the time. In this
arrangement, the right hand of the piano is
frequently written 8va to help re-create the
piccolo that figured prominently in the original.

Adagio—Thomaso Albinoni/arr. Jamin Hoffman.
Finally, an arrangement of Albinoni's most
famous work that can be played at your group's
level. This achingly beautiful music is certainly
one of the high points of all Baroque music. Give
your strings a chance to play this one!

Adoration—Florence B. Price/arr. Steve Olson.
Originally composed for organ by African-
American composer Florence B. Price in 1951.
With its slow, expressive melodies, this piece
is a great opportunity for younger orchestras to
work on bow distribution and vibrato. All parts
except for a small section for the basses are
playable in first position, making it an excellent
transition piece for shifting exercises. The
arrangement captures the beauty and richness
of the original composition.

Allegretto (from "The Creatures of
Prometheus")—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr.
Rick England. Absolutely perfect for cross-
curricular study in middle school or high school!
Prometheus, through trickery, stole fire from
Zeus, gave it to mortals and was punished daily
for eternity for his crime. Beethoven's melody
itself has a bit of trickery and a good deal of
moxy as it weaves through each section of
the orchestra. The story and Beethoven's
marvelous music will provide good discussion
among the players and even your audience.

Allegretto Grazioso—Antonin Dvorak/arr.
Robert Sieving. Here's the 3rd movement
from "Symphony #8," one of Dvorak's most
famous works and it certainly carries his
penchant for memorable melodies! Allegretto
Grazioso, is actually based on a song from an
earlier opera, and the coda in a faster tempo
recalls the Slavonic Dances. These infectiously
joyous melodies will be loved by students and
audiences alike.

Allegro—Sigr. Anderssen/arr. Robert D.
McCashin. This wonderful Baroque work by
Swedish composer Anderssen is full of energy
and harmonic excitement. This arrangement
reduces some of the technical demands
without compromising the artistic integrity of
the original.

Allegro (from Symphony No. 5, Op. 67)—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Brian Holmes.
Give your students the opportunity to learn
Romantic-era playing techniques as well
perform some of the most beloved classical
literature from one of its greatest composers.
This very authentic transcription captures all
of the spectacle and grandeur of the original.
Timpani is optional but highly recommended.

Allegro Barbaro—Bela Bartok/arr. Bob Lipton.
Intense, driving rhythms, pounding ostinatos
and Eastern European influences mark this
string orchestra arrangement of Bartok's
famous piano piece. Your students will thrive
on the energy and unique sounds of music
by a twentieth century master. Harmonically
complex and extremely compelling - once you
listen to this, you'll be hooked!

playing techniques.

Allegro from Jupiter—W.A. Mozart/arr. John
Caponegro. Containing selected themes from
the first movement of Symphony No. 41,
this Grade 4 arrangement of Mozart's last
symphony clearly shows his brilliance. Mozart's
adventurous approach to the material paves
the way for Beethoven and other symphonic
composers to follow.

10752481 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Allegro from Serenade No. 1 in D—W.A.
Mozart/arr. Robert D. McCashin. This delightful
Serenade in D was completed in 1769, when
Mozart was a mere 13 years of age (an ideal
fact to share with young students)! The first
movement, even though composed at such
a young age, provides challenges for every
musician in the ensemble and is musically
appealing to players and audience.

J.C. Bach/arr. Robert D. McCashin. Ideal for a
concert opener or closer, this energetic work
features strong rhythms and vibrant harmonies
while the true genius of Johann Christian Bach
shines through. Conductors have the freedom
to choose a tempo that fits their ensemble
without losing the work's engaging nature.
Certain to be a favorite with performers
and audiences!

Allegro Presto from Symphony No. 2—
Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. Spotlight one of
the first known classical composers of African
ancestry with this incredible arrangement
showcasing the music of Bologne, a Black
contemporary of Mozart. Developing string
players will be introduced to classical-style
playing. Upper strings reinforce half position
while cellists reinforce extensions. An
outstanding choice!

Andante and Allegro (from "Symphony
No. 10")—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart/arr.
Robert D. McCashin. Written by Mozart during
his first concert tour of Italy at age 14-15, this
well-known work was written in the style of an
Italian overture of the time. This noteworthy
arrangement is extremely accessible to
developing orchestras while remaining true
to the sound of the original. Excellent for
teaching classical playing techniques as well as
expanded repertoire. Well suited to both large
and chamber orchestras, this arrangement is
ideal for the middle of your program.

Andante con Moto from Symphony No. 5
—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Bud Caputo.

edition allows the ensemble to experience
even more of Beethoven's melodic genius
while evening out some of the complexities of
the original opus. The result is a respectful look
at the German master that developing groups
and their audiences will enjoy.

Andante Festivo—Jean Sibelius/arr. James
Richards. Originally composed for string
quartet in 1922, Andante festivo was rescored
by the composer in 1938 for string orchestra
with timpani. The work emphasizes the warmth
and rich sonority of the string orchestra,
reflecting a hymnlike ceremonial quality.
Broad lyrical phrases explore a wide range of
dynamic contrast, phrasing, bow distribution,
and orchestral color.

Armonico (From Op. 3, No. 10)—Antonio
Vivaldi/arr. Todd Parrish. This faithful
arrangement of Armonico from Op. 3, No.
10 comes from Antonio Vivaldi's first set of
published concertos. Capturing the spirit of
the original, Todd Parrish offers this setting
of the iconic first movement, displaying the
power and focus that helped this piece stand
out among other works of the same age. A rare
and inspired adaptation.

Autumn and Winter—Alexander Glazunov/arr.
Andrew H. Dabczynski. Both the bleak Russian
midwinter landscape and the joyful celebration
of a fall harvest festival are conveyed in this
string arrangement by Andrew H. Dabczynski,
of Autumn and Winter from Alexander
Glazunov's ballet "The Seasons." The
expressive contrasts in this motivating set will
make it a favorite of all. Optional parts for more
advanced students, as well as supplementary
percussion and piano parts make it an excellent
concert choice for intermediate or even upper-
level orchestras. (3:30)
