CLASSICAL
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!

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)

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.

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.

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!
11349012 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
Armonico (From Op. 3, No. 10)—Antonio Vivaldi/
arr. Todd Parrish. This faithful arrangement comes
from Vivaldi's first set of published concertos.
Capturing the spirit of the original, the iconic first
movement displays the power and focus that
helped this piece stand out among other works of
the same age. A rare and inspired adaptation.
11511798 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65.00
The Castle Walk Rag—James Reese Europe
& Ford T. Dabney/arr. Rick Webb. The original
is considered one of Europe's most influential
recordings and was added to the Library of
Congress National Recording Registry in 2004.
The song is a fusion of ragtime and march styles,
while also creatively inserting bluesy modulations
between major and minor keys.

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.
11511805 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65.00
Danse Macabre—Camille Saint-Saens/arr. Carrie
Lane Gruselle. The clock strikes midnight, a ghostly
fiddler plays eerie tones, and skeletons dance until
the rooster crows at dawn. Perfect for Halloween or
as a change of pace for any time of year!
10512560 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60.00
Fantasia on Greensleeves (What Child 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.
10092446 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49.00
Hungarian Dance No. 5—Johannes Brahms/
arr. Merle J. Isaac. Great fun and a whole lot
more! This exciting, familiar work will give new
life to your rehearsals and will be a standout at
any concert. Enjoy!

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!

Marche Slav—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Carrie Lane
Gruselle. Tchaikovsky's most famous march
exemplifies the spirit of 19th century nationalism
as it was growing in Europe. This exceptional
arrangement set in A minor (a more comfortable
key than the original Bb minor) has all the
elements of the original and lets your orchestra
shine without the need of winds and percussion. A
dramatic and memorable addition to any concert!
10047947 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
Nimrod—Edward Elgar/arr. Mitchell Bender. This
ninth variation from Elgar's "Enigma Variations"
is the most played and most beautiful of the
variations. Due to its overwhelming expressive
quality, it has become England's counterpart
to Adagio for Strings, being played when music
of great emotion and dignity is called for in that
country. This fine arrangement moves the key
center from Eb to the more string-friendly D. With
some very nice divisi writing, this makes an ideal
choice for any string orchestra, and especially nice
for larger or combined string orchestras.

Pavane for a Dead Princess—Maurice Ravel/arr.
Jeremy Woolstenhulme. This absolutely stunning
arrangement of one of Ravel's most beautiful
works gives advanced string orchestras the
opportunity to perform with maturity and elegance.
It features particularly exquisite moments for solo
violin. A required piano part is also included.
11563663 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70.00
Three Norwegian Dances—Halfdan Kjerulf/
arr. Katie O'Hara LaBrie. This fantastic mini-
suite features the music of Halfdan Kjerulf, a
predecessor of and influence on Edvard Grieg.
The work includes the lively and animated
Intermezzo, the lyrical Spring Dance with a
waltz-like quality, and the fiery Brureslatt.
Incredible music that engages all sections of the
orchestra! (5:00)
11568678 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75.00
Waltz No. 2—Dimitri Shostakovich/arr. Paul
Lavender. Shostakovich's waltz has become an
international icon, made popular by artists like
Andre Rieu and heard prominently in Stanley
Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut." Taken from
Shostakovich's "Suite for Variety Orchestra," Paul
Lavender's skillful adaptation is ideally suited to
both serious and light programming.
