Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral—
Richard Wagner/arr. Matthew Moreno.
Introduce your orchestra and audience
to this passionate arrangement from
Wagner's famous opera, "Lohengrin." This
transcription keeps the textures and colors
amazingly true to the full operatic score
while featuring solo violin and cello. Equally
powerful for chamber orchestras or large
string orchestras, this work is sure to make
a profound impact at your performance.
Stunning!

Fantasia on Greensleeves—Ralph
Vaughan Williams/arr. Ralph Greaves.
Here is the original and beloved fantasia
that calls for string orchestra, harp, and two
soloists-usually flutes but often substituted
with violins. This lush arrangement of the
English folksong is a classic in the string
repertoire and a wonderful example of the
Vaughan Williams sound. A must-have for
every orchestra library!

Fidelio Overture—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Todd Parrish. The Fidelio Overture
was written in 1814 to open Beethoven's
only opera by the same name. This string
orchestra arrangement is transposed
from the original E major to the more
approachable key of D major. It retains
the original opening which alternates
between powerful majestic bursts and
lyrical harmonic progressions, finishing
with the energetic presto to the end.
Optional timpani gives this arrangement a
symphonic quality that closely resembles
the original.

Finale from Symphony No. 38,
"Prague"—W.A. Mozart/arr. Robert
Debbaut. Nicknamed "Prague" after the
city of its premiere, Mozart's Symphony No.
38 followed quickly after the resounding
success of his opera The Marriage of
Figaro, which also premiered in 1786. This
arrangement functions much like a concerto
grosso, with string soloists performing the
woodwind parts accompanied by tutti string
sections and timpani, just as Mozart penned
them. As such, it is a great teaching tool for
playing in Classical style and an opportunity
to feature your top players in a brilliant piece
of timeless repertoire.

11559139 Additional Score . . MA 12.00
Finale from Symphony No. 5—Pyotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky/arr. Brian Holmes. The
finale of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.
5 is a fantastic orchestral movement. It
is very grand in nature and appears to
reflect Tchaikovsky's nationalist writing
tendencies. The arrangement for string
orchestra captures the powerful melodies
originally heard in winds and brass.
Beautiful melodies are introduced, building
to a majestic return of the opening theme.
The movement closes with a strong and
exciting finale. Includes optional timpani.

Finlandia—Jean Sibelius/arr. Lynne
Latham. This rousing work will most
certainly enhance the tone production of
your group! This arrangement keeps the
dramatic character of the original but is
changed to D minor. An excellent choice for
community or collegiate string orchestras as
well as advanced school ensembles!

11355744 Additional Score . . . . . . 6.00
Fugue for String Orchestra (from String
Quartet, Op. 8)—Paul Creston. Paul
Creston's writing has been a hallmark of
contemporary American music, ranging
from chamber and orchestral music to stage
and film music. This movement remains
one of his most notable for school string
orchestra, adapted from a string quartet
by the composer himself. Here's a perfect
opportunity to introduce your students to
fugal writing in a contemporary style.

Ghosts of Brandenburg—Richard Meyer.
Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the
Brandenburg Concerti! This arrangement
captures the spirit of the original works, but
sets most of them in minor keys or uses
darker tones, pizzicato, and meter changes
J.S. Bach may never have imagined. This
is inventive and challenging work will take
your intermediate strings on a nine-minute
journey that will build their endurance along
with their musicality.
10050371 String Orchestra . . MA 62.00
10050372 Additional Score . . . . . . 8.00
Hebrides Overture—Felix Mendelssohn/
arr. Jason Librande. Now string orchestras
alone can enjoy this massive work of the
orchestral repertoire for contest or any
concert performance. Mendelssohn's
classic melody follows the ebb and flow
of the ocean waves as each section adds
its voice to a vivid musical portrait. The
overture requires skill in bow control and
ensemble work with advanced rhythms, but
the result is dynamic and just as compelling
as its counterpart for full orchestra.
10280407 String Orchestra . . MA 55.00
10280408 Additional Score . . . . . . 8.00
Hoe Down (from "Rodeo")—Aaron
Copland. Hoe Down has become one
of Aaron Copland's most recognized
orchestral works. Here is the string
orchestra version based on the original, for
advanced string players.
167221 String Orchestra . . . A 45.50
2476148 Additional Score . . . . . . 9.95
The Inner Planets (Themes from
Mercury, Venus, and Mars)—Gustav
Holst/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. This
cleverly titled work includes three famous
themes from "The Planets." The swooping,
fluttery sounds of Mercury, the Winged
Messenger give way to the mystical tone
clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer
of Peace. The arrangement closes with the
iconic militant ostinato and dissonance of
Mars, the Bringer of War.
11203131 String Orchestra . . MA 80.00
11203132 Additional Score . . . . . 11.00
L'estro Armonico—Antonio Vivaldi/arr.
Bob Lipton. Originally written as a concerto
for two violins, cello and strings, the piece
was later arranged by Bach as a concerto
for solo organ. This thoughtful arrangement
draws on both versions and showcases the
genius of these two giants.
10454281 String Orchestra . . MA 75.00
10454314 Additional Score . . . . . 11.00
L'Italiana in Algeri Overture—Gioachino
Rossini/arr. Andrew H. Dabczynski. Here
is an appealing string arrangement of one
of Gioachino Rossini's famous overtures.
Careful scoring and performance options
make this approachable yet appropriately
challenging. Rossini's lighthearted and
engaging melodies make this an ideal
selection for concert or festival programs.
11202325 String Orchestra . . MA 65.00
11202326 Additional Score . . . . . 10.00
New World Symphony—Antonin Dvorak/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. The intense
and powerful themes are provided in an
accessible adaptation that stays true to the
original. Not only an excellent vehicle for
teaching but also a top-notch selection for
festival performances.

10454945 Additional Score . . . . . 10.00
Night on Bald Mountain—Modest
Mussorgsky/arr. Eric Segnitz. Thrilling!
Well known in its full orchestra version and
from its scenes in Disney's "Fantasia," this
arrangement is scored for string orchestra
with optional piano or organ, percussion,
and timpani. A dynamic rendition that can
open or close any concert!

Nonet, Op. 38 (Mvt. 3, Scherzo)—Louise
Farrenc/arr. Jennifer Meckler. Transport
your school string orchestra to 19th-century
Paris with this dynamic composition
featuring a range of expressive techniques,
including bowing styles, pizzicato, and
solo passages. With fingering suggestions
and optional divisi for students of different
skill levels, it offers a thrilling challenge for
intermediate to advanced string orchestras.
11522076 String Orchestra . . MA 80.00
11522102 Additional Score . . . . . 16.00
Overture to Belshazzar—G.F. Handel/
arr. Philip Clark. A fantastic resetting of
this masterpiece. The opening should
be neither too slow nor too fast, perhaps
thought of as an introductory fanfare
for strings (the original included oboes).
For better attack, bowing marked in the
score as "hooked" may rather be played
separately and nearer the frog, but this
might require greater technical ability.
11570795 String Orchestra . . . A 60.00
11570871 Additional Score . . . . A 7.00
Passacaglia—G.F. Handel/arr. Robert
Frost. Originally written for keyboard, this
arrangement showcases Handel's mastery
of this Baroque form. It freely treats most
of the variations to incorporate the use of
a variety of string performance techniques.
The techniques, tempo changes, style and
position requirements for various sections
make it ideal for advancing groups.
10351222 String Orchestra . . MA 70.00
10351223 Additional Score . . . . . 10.00
The Pines of the Appian Way (from
"Pines of Rome")—Ottorino Respighi/
arr. Douglas E. Wagner. All the shrouded
mystery and resplendent grandeur
of the fourth movement of Respighi's
masterpiece Pines of Rome have been
effectively captured in this brilliant
arrangement for string orchestra and
timpani (required). (4:50)
11400632 String Orchestra . . MA 60.00
11400633 Additional Score . . . . . . 9.00
Reverie—Claude Debussy/arr. Samuel
Gelfer. One of Debussy's most recognized
works, featured in many films and television
shows, including HBO's Westworld. This
lush string arrangement can be played
alongside the original solo piano piece,
with all the same lyrical flowing lines.
Teaching opportunities include challenging
position work, impressionistic tonalities,
and advanced melodic phrasing in this well-
known ethereal melody.
