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!

Melody (from Three Short Pieces)—Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor/arr. Robert Debbaut. Violinist
and composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was

West Africa and incorporating them into his
own very European art music. The simply
titled Melody is taken from Three Short Pieces
for Organ, a set of lyrical pieces with tuneful,
songlike qualities.

will have everyone's toes tapping.

Concerto. Delightful!

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.

2476125 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
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.

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.

11403554 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
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!

10091984 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 5.00

piano part is also included.

Peer Gynt Suite (No. 1, Op. 46)—Edvard
Grieg/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. The "Peer
Gynt Suite" themes are among the most

the initial exposure. This arrangement of the
four movements by Gruselle contains: Morning
Mood; Aase's Death; Anitra's Dance and In the
Hall of the Mountain King.

short, and lively trio in the major mode, this

Prelude in G Minor (Op. 23 No. 5)—Sergei
Rachmaninoff/arr. Tanner Otto. This thrilling

11175174 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .12.00
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.
10752902 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .50.00
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!

10001457 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 7.95
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.
