Allegretto (Symphony No. 7, Movement 2)—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Robert D.
McCashin. The second movement of
Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 has enormous
popularity with performers and audiences.
This thoughtful version goes beyond a cursory
repeat of the famous theme by including
developmental material from the movement
which gives a more complete understanding
of Beethoven's intent. This remains faithful
to the original and makes for an excellent
performance! Highly recommended!

Allegretto (from "Symphony No. 7")—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Robert Longfield.
As heard in the Oscar-winning movie "The
King's Speech," one of Beethoven's most
beloved movements accompanied the
dramatic moments of this monumental film.

any program. A wonderful addition to your

Allegro (from Concerto Grosso, Op. 6, No.
1)—George Frideric Handel/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. An excellent choice for concert
or festival, this exuberant movement in the key
of G major features simple quarter- and eighth-
note rhythms with a recurring melodic theme
shared among all instruments. Accompanying
parts are interrelated to make for better
ensemble playing and ease of teaching.

Allegro con Brio (from "Symphony
No. 5")—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr.
John O'Neill. Crafted into a sturdy string
orchestra arrangement, the striking and
oh so familiar movement of Beethoven's
seminal "Symphony No. 5" is the model
introduction to one of the poignant works in
Classical music history. Condensed from the
movement's usual seven-minute average
playing time into a tidy 2:20, Beethoven's
impressive mastery resounds!

Allegro for Cello and String Orchestra—
Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Kathy Fishburn. A
straightforward bit of Baroque writing for cello
solo (optional double bass or bassoon solo)
with string orchestra. Showcase an advanced
player while introducing Baroque style
accompaniment playing to your ensemble.

Allegro from "Xerxes"—George Frederic
Handel/arr. Ken Selden. This spirited Allegro
comes from the overture to Handel's 1738
opera "Serse" (Xerxes). Transposed to
D major, this approachable arrangement
provides students the opportunity to explore
basic Baroque bowing style within a simple
imitative texture, with interesting material given
to all sections of the orchestra. Includes Viola
parts in treble clef, and Violin 2 parts in alto clef
for flexible ensembles.

Allegro Giocoso (Symphony 4, Movement
3)—Brahms/arr. Deborah Baker Monday.
This Brahms masterpiece is a joy to hear
and a thrill to play! Set in the bright key of
D major, it retains the slur over the beat
that gives the descending line its character.
This line is then offset with strong unison
rhythmic motives that drive the music ahead.
An outstanding work to open or close any
concert! Highly recommended!

Allegro in G (from "Concerto for Two Guitars")
—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Steven Frackenpohl.
Carefully crafted for string ensemble, this lively
movement is adapted from Vivaldi's "Concerto
for Two Guitars." In true Vivaldi style, the
ensemble is driven by energetic rhythms that
make all parts interesting and fun to play.
Another outstanding edition for young string
orchestra teaching and performance.

10061587 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
Allegro non troppo (from Symphony No.
2, 1st Mvt)—Johannes Brahms/arr. Robert
Sieving. A folk-like, mature theme is shared
across the sections in this approachable yet
sophisticated arrangement for strings. Minimal
rhythmic independence builds confidence, and
limited shifting is required of the first violins.

Amadeus—W. A. Mozart/arr. Jamin Hoffman.
Here's the music from the dramatic opening
scene of the movie "Amadeus." It's actually the
first movement of "Symphony 25 in G minor,"
arranged here to be in E minor to make it
accessible to more students. It's a thrilling work
and well arranged for your players.

Ancient Aires and Dances—Ottorino Respighi/
arr. Jerry Brubaker. The noble elegance and
beauty of Respighi's marvelous work shines
in this arrangement of the Balletto Movement
from Suite No. 1. The feel of early music carries
through in an arrangement that works equally
well for strings alone or with the addition of
winds. A great introduction to Respighi!

A n d a n t e C o m m o d a m e n t e — V a s i l y
Kalinnokov/arr. Caryn Wiegand Neidhold. An
authentic arrangement of the gorgeous second
movement from Symphony No. 1 by Russian
composer Vasily Kalinnikov, this beautiful
symphonic movement stands on its own. It is
the epitome of the late 19th-century Romantic
style with its lush harmonic choices and
textures. This version is a welcome addition to
the string orchestra repertoire.

Anvil Chorus (from "Il trovatore")—
Giuseppe Verdi/arr. Jeremy Woolstenhulme.
Set in E minor, this performance piece
reinforces a myriad of teaching concepts. The
anvil part will be popular, and playable by a
member of the ensemble on brake drum or
bass drum.

11204490 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 7.00
Apollo-Marsch—Josephine Lang/arr. Josh

Autumn from "The Four Seasons"—Antonio
Vivaldi/arr. Richard Meyer. One of the earliest
examples of tone painting, Vivaldi's "The
Four Seasons" is a staple of the orchestral
repertoire. This energetic movement from
Autumn depicts a hunt on a crisp fall
morning and is full of terraced dynamics,
hooked bowings, and dotted rhythms. The
original violin solo has been simplified and
distributed to two solo violins with solo cello
accompaniment. Full and mature-sounding,
yet very playable by less-experienced
students.

Badinerie (from "Orchestral Suite No. 2")—J.
S. Bach/arr. Jeremy Woolstenhulme. This lively
selection in G minor brings the intricate charm of
Bach to life for developing players. As a teaching
piece, the primary purpose is to introduce low
4th finger to violin and viola players. As a
performance piece, it's clean and flashy!

10281212 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Ballet No. 1. (from "L'Amant anonyme")—
Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges/
arr.Cooper Ford. Composed in the late
1700s, this ballet is dance music that comes
from Joseph Bologne's only surviving opera,
L'Amant anonyme. Often compared to
Mozart, Bologne's writing is both playful and
refined. Originally for chamber orchestra, this
arrangement is accessible to younger players
while maintaining the spirit and integrity of the
piece, creating a gateway for young musicians
to the wonderful world of Bologne's music.
Excellent for teaching classical form and
playing style.

Basile's Galop, Op. 9—Basile Bares/arr.
Jeffrey S. Bishop. American composer Basile
Bares (1845-1902) began life as a slave child
in New Orleans. He lived and worked for a
piano shop owner who gave him opportunities
to study music and tune pianos. Bares became
quite a popular pianist and composer, and this
little galop is one novelty from his pen. This
arrangement gives middle school students the
chance to have fun with fantastic parts for all!

addition to your concert.
