Folksong Sketches (from "Six Studies
in English Folksong")—Ralph Vaughan
Williams/arr. Deborah Baker Monday.
Originally composed for cello and piano,
over time Vaughan Williams transcribed
the music of his folk song studies for a
variety of instruments, so many people will
be familiar with the melodies. This delightful

Fossils and Finale—Camille Saint-
Saens/arr. Todd Parrish. This wonderful
arrangement combines two of the better-
known movements from the humorous
"Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-
Saens. The quirky Fossils with optional
xylophone is written to be more accessible
for intermediate students, segueing
seamlessly into the circus-like Finale. Both
movements feature bright, fun melodies
within playable ranges and keys for the
developing ensemble and the original piano
part integrated into the string parts.

Habanera (from "Carmen")—Georges
Bizet/arr. Jerry Brubaker. This aria,
probably the most popular habanera ever,
lends itself in a superb fashion to the string
orchestra. Even in the opera score, the
cello is the anchor, providing the rhythmic
and tonal structure on which the aria is
built. Incorporating many special effects,
including optional tambourine and triangle,
this new setting is as fun to play as it is to
listen to. Truly a must for any string library!

In Paradisum (from Requiem in D
Minor)—Gabriel Faure/arr. Bob Lipton.
The last movement of Faure's Reqiuem in
D Minor has a transcendent beauty that will
cause goose bumps for audience members
and performers alike. This arrangement
has a technical ease that leaves the player
free to concentrate on communicating
Faure's vision of emotion and expression.

this Norwegian legend to life. A perennial
audience pleaser!

In Winter—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Todd
Parrish. This creative arrangement
develops the iconic rhythmic motif from the
first movement of Vivaldi's Winter from "The
Four Seasons." Arpeggiated patterns in the
lower strings realize the implied harmonies
from the original score, spreading this
energetic rhythm throughout all the
sections of the orchestra. Students will
have the opportunity to refine staccato bow
technique and play with balance between
parts in the key of G minor, with just a few
easy accidentals. This imaginative take on
a classic winter theme is suitable for winter
concerts or any other time of year.

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.
