Waltz No. 2 (from "Suite for Variety
Orchestra")—Dmitri Shostakovich/arr.
Jamin Hoffman. This sardonic waltz may
be Shostakovich's most well-known piece.
It has appeared in movie soundtracks,
commercials, and even on soccer fields!
Slightly simplified and arranged for a young
string orchestra, it swings from B minor to D
major and back again. When performed in
Europe, it's traditional for audiences to sway
and sing along – a tradition that begs to be
transported across the pond!

Winter from "The Four Seasons" (Second
Movement)—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Tim
McCarrick. This arrangement is simple
enough for the violin, viola, or cello soloist
of your choice! Vivaldi's lyrical second
movement, now in G Major, stays true to
the original with the famous melody over
pizzicato accompaniment. The violin solo is
entirely in first position, and the viola and
cello soloists only need to know the first
three notes they learn in third position: D,
E, and F sharp on the A string!

1812 Overture—P.I. Tchaikovsky/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Finally, an
arrangement of Tchaikovsky's masterwork
that includes themes from the entire work,
not just the ending! Themes include the
Opening Hymn, Pastoral Interlude, Russian
Folk Dance and the famous jubilant Victory
Melody set over an exultant Russian
anthem. It follows the form of the original
while keeping the work quite accessible for
younger players. Epic!

1812 Overture—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr.
Sandra Dackow. This is an excellent
selection for an important concert with
your string orchestra! Technical demands
are kept well in check. First violins
require some third-position work, but all
other parts can be played entirely in first
position. Fun for players and audiences
alike! In addition to the medium-level
string parts, this arrangement also
includes optional parts for easy violin,
beginning violin, viola, cello, bass, piano,
timpani, and percussion.

Abduction from the Seraglio (Overture)
—W.A. Mozart/arr. Andy Masters.
Experience the thrill of playing an
authentic Mozart opera overture while
developing spiccato, tremolo, and hooked
bowing technique as well as left-hand
extensions through multiple key centers.
Optional percussion and piano add the
perfect flair. Outstanding arrangement!

Absolutely Beethoven (Mashup)—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Tyler Arcari.
This clever mashup of popular Beethoven
works including Allegro con brio from
Symphony No. 5; Fur Elise; Egmont
Overture and Ode to Joy from Symphony
No. 9 has been carefully orchestrated for
the developing string orchestra. A wonderful
collection of timeless classics not always
accessible to younger orchestras.

Adagietto (from Symphony No. 5)—
Gustav Mahler/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle.
This incredibly expressive movement has
been skillfully adapted for developing string
orchestras by Carrie Gruselle. Including a
simplified harp part playable on piano or
synthesizer, Adagietto is a great vehicle for
developing musicality.

Adagio (from Piano Concerto in A Minor,
Op. 16)—Edvard Grieg/arr. Caryn Wiegand
Neidhold. A beautiful arrangement of this
sensitive music makes for a subtle and
sophisticated work for string orchestra. The
expressive lines are shared throughout
the orchestra so all of the players will be
engaged and tested to the fullest extent of
their musicianship.

Adagio Cantabile (from Sonata
"Pathetique")—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. One of the best
known of all Beethoven piano works,
this is an excellent addition to string
orchestra literature. This masterfully done
arrangement by Carrie Lane Gruselle is on
the easy side of this level, and will come
together easily for your players.

Adagio from "Spartacus"—Aram Khacha-
turian/arr. Robert Longfield. "Spartacus"
remains one of Khachaturian's greatest
creations, and its most memorable theme
continues to be a concert favorite for
orchestras everywhere. Robert Longfield has
transformed the glorious Adagio love theme
into a superb setting for string orchestra.

Adoration—Florence Price/arr. Thomas
Taylor Dickey. Written in 1951, just two
years before the composer's death, this
slow, meditative piece originally for solo
organ reminds the listener of a prelude
or offertory piece at church. With a
performance time of approximately five
minutes, a slow tempo marking, and its
ability to be performed almost entirely in
first position by all sections, this beautiful
work should be in the library of every school
orchestra program.

Air & Fugue (from Water Music Suite)—

Alborada—Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. Feature this
energetic piece, arranged in D Major,
in your next concert. Students will love
playing this lively dance music from the
first movement of this famous work. It's all
in first position except for moments of easy
second position for cello. Includes optional
tambourine and triangle.

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. Robert Longfield's
accessible adaptation for string orchestra
can be a centerpiece of most any
program. A wonderful addition to your
concert repertoire!
