This emotional and reflective work paints a poignant picture of the holiday season as seen through the eyes of a homeless person on a street corner.

Sandra Lentner. This arrangement changes from the waltz-like Toyland to the military-style March of the Toys and its 6/8 rhythms.

A great departure from the usual Christmas repertoire! 11570786 String Orchestra . . . M 55.00 Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")—Sergei Prokofiev/arr. Stephen Wieloszynski. This charming number takes its name from a Russian sleigh called a "troika," pulled by three horses and common in wintertime. The melody is really quite familiar, bright and bouncy as it evokes the sleigh. Parts are carefully edited for school age players, and many techniques are included, but can be omitted if too hard. Optional percussion parts are included. This would be a great choice for a wintertime concert! 2313955 String Orchestra, Percussion Optional . . . . . . . . . .

MA 50.00 The Wexford Carol—arr. Katie O'Hara LaBrie. This traditional Irish carol opens with a solo for cello or violin (or soli for both) over a distant drone.
