CLASSICAL SELECTIONS medium-easy
A Little Winter Night Music—arr. Kathryn
Griesinger. Bookended with the familiar
strains of Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik,
this arrangement combines familiar classical
themes about night and winter - including
melodies from Vivaldi's Winter, Holst's
In the Bleak Midwinter, and themes from
Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. A steady,
unchanging tempo and simplified rhythms
allow young players to seamlessly play through
works by some of history's greatest composers!
Includes extra parts for viola in treble clef and
violin 2 in alto clef for flexible ensembles.

level is ME, soloist level is M.

The Moldau—Bedrich Smetana/arr. Todd
Parrish. Like the original, this highly playable
arrangement of Smetana's masterwork starts
simply and builds gradually to a grand finish.
Care is taken to avoid any advanced, extended
fingerings. Despite its pedagogical approach,
this arrangement remains incredibly authentic
to the original. (2:45)

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!

Moonlighting—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. This creative version
of the Moonlight Sonata in a tango style offers
the best of both worlds by bringing Classical
and popular elements together in one great
work! Easily accessible in the key of D minor
for grade 2+ groups, it enhances the beauty of
Beethoven's famous original with gentle Latin
rhythms and some contemporary harmonies.

Norwegian Dance No. 1, Op. 35—Edvard
Grieg/arr. Deborah Baker Monday. With
its playful scalewise motives and exciting
dynamics, this lively dance is reminiscent of In
the Hall of the Mountain King. The melodious B
section in D major is set to chromatic harmonies
which are uniquely Grieg and will provide a
welcome challenge to intermediate players.

O Abre Alas (Brazilian Carnival March)—
Chiquinha Gonzaga/arr. Deborah Baker
Monday. Gonzaga left her mark in Brazilian
culture as a respected composer, conductor,
and pianist. Inspired by the marching rhythms of
paraders during a Brazilian carnival, this string
arrangement perfectly portrays a work originally
for voices and keyboard. True to Brazilian choro
music, it's all about virtuosic and catchy rhythms.

Ocean Storm (La Tempesta di Mare)—
Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Tom Fritz. Feel the power
of "The Tempest Of The Sea" (Vivaldi) in this
work for strings. Ascending and descending
passages with much call and response depict
the swells of the storm, while reinforcing string
crossings, accidentals, and a variety of bow
articulations. First violins shift to third position.

Os pintinhos no terreiro—Zequinha de
Abreu/arr. Steve Olson. A wonderful version of
this classic Zequinha de Abreu gem arranged
for intermediate orchestras brings the vibrant
spirit of Latin American dance to life. This
piece is a toe-tapping challenge with catchy
melodies and syncopations. While cellos and
basses require shifting, most parts remain in
first position. Second violins can optionally shift
to third position. This arrangement also adapts
well for smaller ensembles, making it suitable
for solo and ensemble festivals.

Overture to Lucio Silla—W. A. Mozart/
arr. Sandra Dackow. Written during Mozart's
teenage years, this is a bold and robust
overture. It is a worthy addition to advancing
string repertoires.

6044960 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .12.50
Overture to The Magic Flute—Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart/arr. Todd Parrish. This
fantastic arrangement focuses on the
overture's fast section, transposed to the
more accessible key of C major. All sections
get interesting parts without the tricky left-hand
work in the original. Extremely approachable
with a big, authentic sound, this is an ideal
concert or festival addition! (2:20)

11511917 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Polovtsian Dances—Alexander Borodin/
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
include triplets, syncopation, ornaments, 16th-
note rhythms, and slurs. A beautiful concert
selection for any time of the year.

Prelude from "Holberg Suite"—Edvard
Grieg/arr. Brendan McBrien. Here's a true gem
of the string literature that has become one of
the best-loved string works of its time. This
Prelude to Grieg's suite calls for high-energy
playing, some divisi, and some shifting. This
will showcase your advancing string orchestra
to the fullest!

Prelude No. 22—J.S. Bach/arr. Vincent J.
Kantorski. Undertake a journey through Bach's
brilliance with the captivating Prelude No. 22,
BWV 867 from the Well-Tempered Clavier,
Book 1, beautifully arranged for Grade 3
string orchestra. With its rhythmic precision
and dynamic contrasts, this arrangement in
G minor offers students a rich exploration of
Baroque music and promises a performance
as enchanting as it is educational.

Presto (from Symphony No. 1, K. 16)—W.A.
Mozart/arr. Anthony Granata. While his
father was critical of his son's earliest works,
audiences and musicians have grown to love
and adore the simplistic beauty of young
Mozart's first symphony. This arrangement of
the third movement Presto is a perfect choice
for late beginning and early intermediate
orchestras. Rewritten from the original key of
E-flat major to G major, the work foreshadows
the great masterpieces yet to come. Your
students will be enticed and challenged by the
young genius' first symphony, including original
articulations, hooked bowings, accidentals, and
dynamics. (2:00)
