CLASSICAL SELECTIONS medium
1812 Overture—P.I. Tchaikovsky/
arr. Sandra Dackow. This is an excellent
selection for an important concert with your string
orchestra! Technical demands are kept well in
check. First violins require some third-position
work, but all other parts can be played entirely in
first position. Fun for players and audiences alike!
In addition to the medium-level string parts, this
arrangement also includes optional parts for easy
violin, beginning violin, viola, cello, bass, piano,
timpani, and percussion.

The Abandoned Funhouse—
Brian Balmages. Written for the true beginner,
this piece takes the listener on an eerie tour that
can best be described as an unsettling experience
with a touch of curiosity and anxiousness. Piano
and optional celesta (playable on a keyboard)
create a haunting background reminiscent of a
film score. Instruments move mostly by stepwise
motion, and all string crossings involve an open
string. No eighth notes are used, and many
instruments use only five or six notes. This
adaptable version will give you the flexibility to
perform this with many different ensembles!
