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.

Nimrod—Sir Edward Elgar/arr. Bud

Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Todd Parrish.
Experience the thrill of Beethoven's original
symphony in this multi-level arrangement
for string or full orchestra! Beginners will
feel successful playing the familiar melody
from their method book accompanied by a
brilliant arrangement for intermediate and
advanced orchestras. This abbreviated
version is long enough to highlight the
best moments but short enough to use
as a grand finale for any pyramid concert.
Optional high school level wind and brass
parts are highly encouraged but not
required for performance.

Overture from The Thieving Magpie
(La gazza ladra)—Gioachino Rossini/
arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. The Thieving
Magpie is one of Rossini's most memorable
and exciting opera overtures. After an
aggressive and militaristic introduction
comes the drama and intrigue surrounding
a story centered on the theft of a silver
spoon! Students will explore a full range of
expression and bow strokes in this expertly
orchestrated arrangement.

Pavane—Gabriel Faure/arr. John O'Neill.
Such an emotive arrangement for your
group! John O'Neill brings this work to an
accessible level for maturing players by
setting it in the key of G minor, yet maintains
its Impressionistic elegance. The muted
intention of Faure's work begs that the
pizzicato bass lines not be rushed, lest the
effect be disturbed. Optional solo features
may not leave a dry eye in the house!

String Project Consortium, this gorgeous lyrical work for beginning and
developing string students can be performed alone as an intermediate-
level piece or with multi-level supplemental parts (available separately).

is designed to sound far "greater than" the intermediate version alone.
An outstanding choice for a festival setting or pyramid concert.

It's All Right (featured in "Soul")—
Curtis Mayfield/arr. Chris M. Bernotas.
The Impressions' classic hit was featured in the Disney/Pixar movie
"Soul." This arrangement gives string players the opportunity to do
what they are almost never asked to do... swing! There's even an
opportunity to get the audience clapping their hands... on 2 and 4, of
course. The perfect addition to your pops or spring program!

Alan Lee Silva. Excellently rescored for flexible instrumentation, this
exciting piece is pulsing with energy from the opening bar. Composer
Alan Lee Silva crafts a tale of a mythical knight who valiantly searches
for adventure and opportunity. It moves forward with driving precision,

from other instruments on a corresponding line.

and whole note values. Piano is optional.

flexible instrumentation edition, is an exhilarating take on the dynamic
spirit of the ancient Vikings! Open-string double stops, pizzicato, and
optional percussion create a dramatic sound that will transport you
into a legendary seafaring adventure. Each instrument part is featured
while working on various bowing styles and dynamics. Violins utilize
low second finger, while basses have limited low first fingers. Piano
and percussion add to the flair and drama. This is a must-have in every
orchestral library.
