S y m p h o n i e E s p a g n o l e ( F i r s t
Movement)—Edouard Lalo/arr. Todd
Parrish. Firmly rooted in the standard
violin repertoire, Symphonie Espagnole is
a brilliant work that showcases the violin's
lyrical beauty and technical virtuosity with
a Spanish style. After keeping the opening
solo passage, the powerful melodies are
then passed throughout the orchestra. The
first movement is arranged here for string
orchestra, shortened and simplified for
playability. However, Lalo's original fiery
masterpiece comes through clearly. The
optional timpani part is highly recommended
to achieve the most authentic sound.

theme of the first movement. Cellos are

Symphony No. 6 (First Movement)—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. In Beethoven's words,
"the 'Pastoral' symphony is more an
expression of feeling than painting...
pleasant feelings which awaken in men
on arriving in the countryside." A perfect
introduction to Beethoven's major works,

to retain the true nature of the original
masterpiece while remaining playable by

Symphony No. 60 (First Movement)—
Joseph Haydn/arr. Stephen Chin. Haydn's
output of 104 symphonies is truly one of
the great marvels in music. His adoring
audiences waited with anticipation for
the next symphony to be written as each
was unique and imparted elements of
exceptional beauty, vigor, quirkiness, and
surprise. Symphony No. 60 demonstrates
this so well: it is somewhat the "Surprise"
Symphony before its time! This
arrangement for strings is faithful to the
original with the added features of sharing
the melodic lines, a slight editing of a few
bars of the bass part, a violin 3 part, and a
keyboard realization. It is also an excellent
way to develop Classical-style spiccato in
more advanced players.
