Symphony No. 2 (Finale)—Emilie Mayer/
arr. Lauren Taylor. A rare transcription of the
extraordinary music of German composer
Emilie Mayer (1812-1883). While most of her
compositions remained unpublished, Mayer's
works were acclaimed in Germany; she toured
frequently, performing her music during her
lifetime. This stormy final movement from her
second symphony reveals Mayer's bold and
confident style. This arrangement for string
orchestra and timpani was painstakingly drawn
from the handwritten score, offering a profound
opportunity to experience the music of this
incredible composer for the first time.

Symphony No. 2, Mvt. 2—William Grant
Still/arr. Todd Parrish. Premiered in 1937 by
the Philadelphia Orchestra, this symphony,
subtitled "Song of a New Race," infuses
elements of blues and jazz into the classical
form, creating a uniquely blended sound to
reflect Stills' vision of an increasingly diverse
American culture. Originally composed for
full orchestra, this slightly abridged second
movement for string orchestra includes the
original harp part, honoring the legacy of one
of America's greatest composers.

Symphony No. 5 (First Movement)—Ludwig
van Beethoven/arr. Todd Parrish. All the power
of Beethoven's famous Fifth Symphony,
first movement is captured in this excellent
arrangement for string orchestra with optional
timpani. Set in the original key of C minor, the
stormy Allegro con brio effectively uses every
section of the ensemble to capture the passion
and spirit of the original work.

Symphony No. 6 (First Movement)—Ludwig
van Beethoven/arr. Robert D. McCashin. In
Beethoven's words, "the 'Pastoral' symphony
is more an expression of feeling than
painting... pleasant feelings which awaken in
men on arriving in the countryside." A perfect
introduction to Beethoven's major works, the
music is exquisitely orchestrated to retain the
true nature of the original masterpiece while
remaining playable by intermediate students.

Symphony No. 60 (First Movement)—
Joseph Haydn/arr. Stephen Chin. Haydn's
output of 104 symphonies is truly one of
the great marvels in music. His adoring
audiences waited with anticipation for the next
symphony to be written as each was unique
and imparted elements of exceptional beauty,
vigor, quirkiness, and surprise. Symphony No.
60 demonstrates this so well: it is somewhat
the "Surprise" Symphony before its time! This
arrangement for strings is faithful to the original
with the added features of sharing the melodic
lines, a slight editing of a few bars of the bass
part, a violin 3 part, and a keyboard realization.
It is also an excellent way to develop Classical-
style spiccato in more advanced players.

Symphony No. 86: Finale—Franz Joseph
Haydn/arr. Bill Scott. Taken from one of the six
Paris Symphonies commissioned by Comte
d'Ogny and the Chevalier de Saint-Georges,
this arrangement of the Finale is very close
to the original string parts and offers many
opportunities for students to refine their style
of performing music from the Classical period.

Third of Three: Theme from Symphony
No. 3, Mvt. 3—Camille Saint Saens/arr.
Lynne Latham. This wonderfully authentic
arrangement for string orchestra is the C minor
theme in 6/8 from the Scherzo of Saint-Saens'
Third Symphony. The piece can be played
without the repeat for a lighter performance.
The perfect choice for the advanced string
orchestra program!

Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")—Sergei
Prokofiev/arr. Paul Lavender. Ideal for a
classical-style piece for your holiday program,
Prokofiev's sleigh ride is an energetic, familiar
tune that translates wonderfully for string
orchestra. Paul Lavender's setting is scored
to feature your viola and cello sections and
includes some performance options to best
suit your ensemble's level of ability.

Acclamation—Doug Spata. Broad, noble
melodies soar over brisk eighth-note ostinatos
in this animated adventure in time. With
melodic material spread throughout the
orchestra, the uplifting G major theme brings
opportunities to practice various articulations,
subdivision, and the D.C. al Coda structure. A
wonderful concert opener or finale!

Acropolis—Matthew R. Putnam. This original
work for beginning string orchestra is an
excellent introduction to simple syncopation.
Using only notes of the D scale, it passes the
melody to all sections and is a great opportunity
to introduce simple slurs, legato playing, and
pizzicato. A great choice for your beginning
orchestra's first performance.

11501756 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Aeolian Rock—Jeffrey Frizzi. This fun-loving
original is guaranteed to motivate beginning
string players by highlighting the strengths of
every section. Unison cellos and basses start
off with an 8-bar groove in A minor before
upper strings come in with a cool melody.
Then violas assume the melodic lead in the
middle section of the piece before a strong
tutti finish.
10492375 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .48.00

Aliens in the Attic—Tyler Arcari. Aliens are
attacking... from the attic! Your beginning
orchestra will love this fun programmatic work.
Violins and violas play tense staccato ostinatos
while the cellos and bass play an ominous
melody below before the upper strings take
the melody with the low strings sawing heaving
eighth notes. Throw in some great sound
effects and a few whirly tubes and you have
a hit that the audience and musicians won't be
able to get enough of!
11392928 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .50.00

Angelic Star—Yukiko Nishimura. This Grade
1.5 piece uses staccato articulations to depict
the celestial twinkling of stars in the night sky.
In bright D major, players get to explore the
dance-like feeling of 3/4 time with a few new
notes on the violin E string. A contrasting lyrical
section presents a legato theme with easy slurs
and beautiful harmonies between the sections.
The sparkling piece ends with a return to the
light opening motif, ending softly like the fading
stars at dawn.
11559071 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00
11559111 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 7.50
Anna's Star—Aaron Perrine. Based on the
familiar melody of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,
this beautiful, lyrical work for string orchestra
provides a variety of opportunities to develop
consistent bow pressure with the right hand as
well as a good bit of part independence. Lush
orchestration and a wide range of dynamics
add to the composition's expressive potential!
11536688 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .50.00
11536690 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Appalachian Hymn—Soon Hee Newbold.
This lyrical work was inspired by the traditional
folk tunes and hymns of the Appalachians.
Using mostly a simple pentatonic scale, the
warm melody evokes rustic images of the
American outdoors. The writing makes even
smaller groups sound full. This is an ideal
choice for your next concert.
