Purcell/arr. Deborah Baker Monday. The
famous theme from Purcell's Rondeau, also
well-known from Britten's use in The Young
Person's Guide to the Orchestra, is expertly
arranged to engage all sections of the
orchestra while staying true to the original.
A perfect addition at any point in the concert

Rondeau No. 3—Joseph Bologne/arr. Robert
Debbaut. This lively rondeau from Bologne's
Six String Quartets, op. 1 is a classic seven-
part rondo in G major, D major, and G minor.
As was typical of the Classical style, the
melody is heard mainly in the first violin while
the other sections provide supporting harmonic
and rhythmic roles. The essence of the string
quartet scoring is retained by having the bass
double the cello part, resulting in a charming
and accessible concert selection.

Rondo (from "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik")
—W. A. Mozart/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle.
Mozart gets a makeover! This arrangement
of the Rondo from "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"
distills the best parts for intermediate
orchestras with moderate tempos and
simplified rhythms. Fret not, substance is not
sacrificed for simplicity.

10277861 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
Russian Easter Overture—Nikolai Rimsky-
Korsakov/arr. Austin Isaac. Written in 1888
as a tribute to fellow composers Mussorgsky
and Borodin, this regal theme combines
original melodies with traditional melodies
from liturgical chants of the Russian
Orthodox Church. The majestic arrangement
stays true to the original key signatures and
includes all main melodic and harmonic
voices and structure in a continuous
performance that is accessible as well as
rewarding to perform.

11559127 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 8.50
Sleepers Wake—J.S. Bach/arr. Jerry

melody will be loved by one and all. Solidly
scored for your string or full orchestra, the
delicate melody will reinforce the musicianship
of the entire ensemble.

classical style.

11393526 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Sonata in Trio No. 3, Movements II, III,
and VII—Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. Guerre was
the foremost female composer of the French
Baroque period. She received a thorough
education in music and as a teenager became
a composer and musician in the court of Louis
XIV. This stellar arrangement showcases three
of the seven movements of her trio sonata in
a seamless single-movement arrangement.
Rhythmically charged with syncopation and
dotted rhythms, it's an energetic work that
gives all sections engaging parts. Cello and
bass parts are written in octaves. A superb
choice for festival performances - this should
be included in every orchestra's library!

11563678 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
The Sorcerer's Apprentice—Paul Dukas/
arr. Andrew Balent. This orchestral classic was
the only selection to be featured in the original
Fantasia film and sixty years later in Fantasia
2000! Now it is arranged in a version your
students can play. Playable by string orchestra
or full orchestra, this arrangement avoids much
of the introductory material to get right into the
most familiar parts.

2472122 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Suite española, No. 1 Op. 47, Mvt. III: Sevillanas
—Isaac Albéniz/arr. Jeff Bailey. Originally
composed for piano solo, the Sevillanas
movement is based on a Castilian folk dance
from the 15th century. Sevillanas are festival
dances, danced with partners during times
of celebration. This arrangement requires
students to have a solid command of flats,
sharps, accidentals, and some chromaticism; at
a brisk tempo, it has key changes throughout.
11563666 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
11563680 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Swan Lake—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Michael
Hopkins. This unabridged arrangement
remains very true to the original while
making this beautiful music playable by string
orchestra. The key has been changed from
B minor to E minor so all parts remain in first
position. This is a great piece for teaching
legato and tremolo bowing, expressive
phrasing, triplet rhythms, accelerando and
ritardando. A stirring arrangement!
10305939 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .49.00
10305940 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Symphony Concertante No. 1 (Allegro)—
Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges/
arr. Jim Palmer. This is a beautiful example
of a classical work from an underrepresented
composer. Detailed dynamics, bowings, and
fingerings allow students to experience the
classical style. Originally written for two solo
violins and string orchestra, this arrangement
provides an opportunity for the standard string
orchestra to experience this work. The rhythmic
drive makes it an excellent opener or closer for
any festival or concert. (3:45)
11568662 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .65.00
11568813 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Symphony No. 8, D.759 "Unfinished" -
Mvt. 2—Franz Schubert/arr. Jeff Bailey. The
Andante movement showcases Schubert's
genius for composing beautiful and flowing
melodies. This well-crafted arrangement
captures the warmth throughout the movement
just as it was originally composed. A must for
developing orchestras.
11398770 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .52.00
11398784 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 7.00
Theme from Symphony No. 1, Mvt. 3—
Gustav Mahler/arr. Brad Pfeil. This versatile
arrangement is a great showcase for your
bass players and also provides an optional
harp feature. The famous opening solo can
be played in first position or thumb position
and as a bass solo or soli with an optional
timpani part. While mostly in first position,
this piece offers great opportunities for all
instruments to explore higher positions.
Students will love the simplicity of Mahler's
haunting melody, while being challenged to
maintain a slow, steady tempo.

10304744 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
William Tell Overture (Finale)—Rossini/arr.
Sandra Dackow. One of the most famous of
all overtures, thanks in part to its use as a TV
theme. While somewhat challenging, there
are optional easy string and percussion parts
included that make this a very useful edition.
What a concert opener this would make!
2172062 String Orchestra,
Percussion Optional . . . . . .70.00
8057002 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .12.00
Zarabanda (Spanish Dance No. 3)—Enrique
Granados/arr. Eric B. Davis. Also called
Fandango, this third dance from Granados' 12
Spanish Dances was written for piano but is often
performed on guitar. It is particularly well suited
for string orchestra, with a beautifully elegant
melody and upbeat dance feel combining the
style of flamenco with the classical tradition of
the period. Articulations, particularly the contrast
of staccato and legato bow styles, offer a fun and
light performance with many dynamic, melodic,
and rhythmic variances.
