The Abduction from the Seraglio
(Overture)—W.A. Mozart/arr. Jamin Hoffman.
From the comic opera filled with pirates,
Turkish princes, kidnapping and daring
rescues, Mozart's The Abduction from the
Seraglio is the piece of music that generated
the (possibly fictional) "too many notes" story. It
is written in the Turkish "janissary" style, a style
of music that fascinated Europe at the time. In
this arrangement, the right hand of the piano
is frequently written 8va to help re-create the
piccolo that figured prominently in the original.

Adagio—Thomaso Albinoni/arr. Jamin
Hoffman. Finally, an arrangement of
Albinoni's most famous work that can be
played at your group's level. This achingly
beautiful music is certainly one of the high
points of all Baroque music. Give your strings
a chance to play this one!

Adagio and Allegro—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. R. Scott Whittington. Created for string
ensembles working at a level 3.5, this offers
a wonderful opportunity for developing
players to discover the brilliant and dramatic
composer that is Ludwig van Beethoven. This
arrangement has been edited and shortened
to 4:20, and has been transposed from its
original key of E-flat major to the more string-
friendly key of D major.
This is scored so that it
can be successfully performed if an ensemble
is missing a bass section.

Adoration—Florence B. Price/arr. Steve Olson.
Originally composed for organ by African-
American composer Florence B. Price in 1951.
With its slow, expressive melodies, this piece
is a great opportunity for younger orchestras to
work on bow distribution and vibrato. All parts
except for a small section for the basses are
playable in first position, making it an excellent
transition piece for shifting exercises. The
arrangement captures the beauty and richness
of the original composition.

11522093 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .12.00
Allegretto (from "The Creatures of
Prometheus")—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Rick England. Absolutely perfect for
cross-curricular study in middle school or
high school! Prometheus, through trickery,
stole fire from Zeus, gave it to mortals and
was punished daily for eternity for his crime.
Beethoven's melody itself has a bit of trickery
and a good deal of moxy as it weaves
through each section of the orchestra. The
story and Beethoven's marvelous music will
provide good discussion among the players
and even your audience.

Allegretto Grazioso—Antonin Dvorak/arr.
Robert Sieving. Here's the 3rd movement
from "Symphony #8," one of Dvorak's most
famous works and it certainly carries his
penchant for memorable melodies! Allegretto
Grazioso, is actually based on a song from an
earlier opera, and the coda in a faster tempo
recalls the Slavonic Dances. These infectiously
joyous melodies will be loved by students and
audiences alike.

Allegro—Sigr. Anderssen/arr. Robert D.
McCashin. This wonderful Baroque work by
Swedish composer Anderssen is full of energy
and harmonic excitement. This arrangement
reduces some of the technical demands
without compromising the artistic integrity of
the original.

10512553 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 5.00
Allegro (from Symphony No. 5, Op. 67)—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Brian Holmes.
Give your students the opportunity to learn
Romantic-era playing techniques as well
perform some of the most beloved classical
literature from one of its greatest composers.
This very authentic transcription captures all
of the spectacle and grandeur of the original.
Timpani is optional but highly recommended.

Allegro Barbaro—Bela Bartok/arr. Bob Lipton.
Intense, driving rhythms, pounding ostinatos
and Eastern European influences mark this
string orchestra arrangement of Bartok's
famous piano piece. Your students will thrive
on the energy and unique sounds of music
by a twentieth century master. Harmonically
complex and extremely compelling - once you
listen to this, you'll be hooked!

Allegro for Double Orchestra (from the
Responsory Domine ad adjuvandum
me festina)—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Robert

give more developed string musicians a
broader knowledge of the classical repertoire
as well as experience with Baroque-style
playing techniques.

11402183 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
Allegro from Jupiter—W.A. Mozart/arr. John
Caponegro. Containing selected themes from
the first movement of Symphony No. 41,
this Grade 4 arrangement of Mozart's last
symphony clearly shows his brilliance. Mozart's
adventurous approach to the material paves
the way for Beethoven and other symphonic
composers to follow.

10752481 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Allegro (from "Sinfonia No. 6 in G Minor")—
J.C. Bach/arr. Robert D. McCashin. Ideal for a
concert opener or closer, this energetic work
features strong rhythms and vibrant harmonies
while the true genius of Johann Christian Bach
shines through. Conductors have the freedom to
choose a tempo that fits their ensemble without
losing the work's engaging nature. Certain to be
a favorite with performers and audiences!

Allegro Presto from Symphony No. 2—
Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. Spotlight one of
the first known classical composers of African
ancestry with this incredible arrangement
showcasing the music of Bologne, a Black
contemporary of Mozart. Developing string
players will be introduced to classical-style
playing. Upper strings reinforce half position
while cellists reinforce extensions. An
outstanding choice!

11349013 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 6.00
Andante (from Symphony No. 5)—Felix
Mendelssohn/arr. William LaRue Jones. This
third movement is written in an operatic aria
style, with the first violins singing the opening
lyrical melody over a pulsating accompaniment.
Mendelssohn's compositional style belongs to
the Romantic period with its more emotional,
expressive qualities. The Andante increasingly
engages each string section, expanding the
interplay of parts and infusing more rhythmic
drama before ending in calm serenity. This
is an excellent composition for students to
develop tone quality, learn the functions of
foreground and background in balancing
parts, and experience the emotional shifts of
a Romantic composition. (3:20)

Andante and Allegro (from "Symphony
No. 10")—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart/arr.
Robert D. McCashin. Written by Mozart during
his first concert tour of Italy at age 14-15, this
well-known work was written in the style of an
Italian overture of the time. This noteworthy
arrangement is extremely accessible to
developing orchestras while remaining true
to the sound of the original. Excellent for
teaching classical playing techniques as well as
expanded repertoire. Well suited to both large
and chamber orchestras, this arrangement is
ideal for the middle of your program.

Andante Festivo—Jean Sibelius/arr. James
Richards. Originally composed for string
quartet in 1922, Andante festivo was rescored
by the composer in 1938 for string orchestra
with timpani. The work emphasizes the warmth
and rich sonority of the string orchestra,
reflecting a hymnlike ceremonial quality.
Broad lyrical phrases explore a wide range of
dynamic contrast, phrasing, bow distribution,
and orchestral color.
