CLASSICAL SELECTIONS medium
Danse (from "African Suite")—Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor/arr. Kirk Moss. The artistic
turning point of English composer Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor's career happened in his
twenties when he met the African-American
poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Dunbar influenced
the young composer to concentrate on his
African heritage. Originally composed for
piano as the final movement of "African Suite,"
Danse begins with two introductory chords
followed by energetic swinging rhythms and
repeated angular melodies. Students will love
the moods in this festive overture, evocative of
later Broadway musicals.

Danse Macabre—Camille Saint-Saens/arr.
Percy Hall. There are very few cuts made in
this eerie, phantasmal tour de force. At least

audience!

Dies Irae—W.A. Mozart/arr. Laura Kenney.
Originally written for full orchestra and
choir, this string arrangement maintains the
intensity of Mozart's original Dies Irae from his
Requiem. With its dramatic and driving music,
off-beat rhythms, and running 16th notes, this
work presents a more passionate style of
Mozart. Challenging string parts with shifting
for all sections will keep your students active
and engaged.

Divertimento No. 11, K. 251—W.A.
Mozart/arr. R. Scott Whittington. This pice
is extracted from a six-movement work
composed in Salzburg in 1776. The original
oboe and horn parts have been redistributed
among the strings in order to share melodic
interest among all players. The difficulty
level is 3. While the suggested tempo
marking is 108, this piece can be played
more quickly, based on the technical abilities
of the orchestra.

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis—
Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr. Jamin Hoffman.
This string masterpiece rose in popularity after

The Far Side of the World. The simple, elegant
theme from Elizabethan church composer
Thomas Tallis was later expanded and
modernized by Vaughan Williams. This lush
arrangement adapts and simplifies the original
version into a work that is ideal for developing
string students. Doubled octaves and divisi
writing make this ideal for large orchestras.

Is This?)—Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. Scored for strings,
harp (keyboard) and two violin soloists, this
ethereal setting retains the form and texture of
the original while bringing it to a student-friendly
level. Melodic material is passed effortlessly
from one section to another, and only the first
violin solo requires third position work. A rich
setting of a classic masterwork.

majestic recessional Rondeau from Premiere

Hungarian Dance No. 1—Johannes Brahms/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Brahms captures the
fire and passion of Romanian culture in these
folk songs set to dance styles. Intensity and
drama is created with dynamic exaggeration,
abrupt tempo changes, and contrasting bow
styles. An excellent way to encourage students
to listen and watch the conductor as they
engage with all the wonderfully rich sections of
the piece.

Jupiter (from "The Planets")—Gustav Holst/
arr. John Caponegro. This arrangement of
Jupiter is a challenging piece for medium and
medium-advanced groups. While not quite
contemporary in style, the piece is modern
enough in concept to allow students the chance
to experience alternate treatments of themes
and motifs. A perfect concert piece for any
performance venue.

10088098 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
La Bella Cubana—José White/arr. Robert
Debbaut. In addition to numerous etudes and a
virtuosic violin concerto, violinist Joseph (José)
White Lafitte composed this habanera for two
violins, La Bella Cubana. In this string orchestra
arrangement of a habanera originally composed
for two violins, the lyrical melodic solos are
spread throughout the orchestra. Traditional
Cuban dance rhythms in the middle theme
capture the vibrant joy of the original work.

La Rejouissance, Sarabande, and Gigue
(from Suite TWV 55: D8)—G.P. Telemann/
arr. Robert D. McCashin. These three
movements: La Rejouissance, Sarabande,
and Gigue, are taken from Telemann's seven
movement Suite in D, originally composed
for trumpet and orchestra. An excellent
introduction to late Baroque style playing for
intermediate students, featuring contrasting
tempos, dotted rhythms, and compound time
signatures in playable first position. Includes
violin 3 (viola in treble clef) and alternate viola
(violin 2 in alto clef) parts.
10846062 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
10846063 Additional Score . . . . . . . . .10.00
Maelstrom—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. A treacherous
storm motif acts as the undercurrent to quotes
from famous water-themed compositions,
including Smetana's Die Moldau, the haunting
Aquarium from Saint-Sans' Carnival of the
Animals, and a traditional Irish sea chantey
as melodies overlap in this musical storm.
Developing players will refine articulation skills
while navigating some shifting, chromatic lines,
and a variety of rhythms in 6/8 time.

11202202 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 9.50
March of the Marionette—Charles Gounod/
arr. Caryn Wiegand Neidhold. This familiar
sneaky theme was originally composed for solo
piano by French composer Charles Gounod in
1872 as a bit of a joke about a particular music
critic. The mysterious and foreboding motif has
since been used in film and TV, most notably
as the theme for the show Alfred Hitchcock
Presents. This string orchestra arrangement
skillfully weaves the ominous melody into all
sections, retaining the original D minor key with
the traditional change to the parallel D major
in the middle. Players will experience various
accidentals in 6/8 meter, with minimal shifting in
first violin and cello. With the ghostly whimsy of
a danse macabre, this scary classic is perfect
for your fall or Halloween concert!

Chris M. Bernotas. Your symphony orchestra

this accessible piece is truly a wonderful choice
for a departmental collaboration or festival.
