Allegro Giocoso (Symphony 4,
Movement 3)—Brahms/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. This Brahms masterpiece
is a joy to hear and a thrill to play! Set in
the bright key of D major, it retains the slur
over the beat that gives the descending
line its character. This line is then offset
with strong unison rhythmic motives that
drive the music ahead. An outstanding
work to open or close any concert! Highly
recommended!

own. It is the epitome of the late 19th-century

Autumn from "The Four Seasons"—
Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Richard Meyer. One
of the earliest examples of tone painting,
Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" is a staple
of the orchestral repertoire. This energetic
movement from Autumn depicts a hunt on
a crisp fall morning and is full of terraced
dynamics, hooked bowings, and dotted
rhythms. The original violin solo has been
simplified and distributed to two solo violins
with solo cello accompaniment. Full and
mature-sounding, yet very playable by less-
experienced students.

—J. S. Bach/arr. Jeremy Woolstenhulme.
This lively selection in G minor brings the
intricate charm of Bach to life for developing

Georges/arr.Cooper Ford. Composed in

is both playful and refined. Originally for
chamber orchestra, this arrangement
is accessible to younger players while
maintaining the spirit and integrity of
the piece, creating a gateway for young
musicians to the wonderful world of
Bologne's music. Excellent for teaching
classical form and playing style.

and worked for a piano shop owner who

and tune pianos. Bares became quite a
popular pianist and composer, and this
little galop is one novelty from his pen.
This arrangement gives middle school
students the chance to have fun with
fantastic parts for all!

Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (Second
Movement)—J.S. Bach/arr. Todd Parrish.
This energetic second movement from
Bach's famed Brandenburg Concerto
No. 3 has been skillfully arranged to
be more accessible to the developing
string ensemble. Remaining in the key
of G major, this piece has been rescored
from the original compound meter of
12/8 to simple 3/4 time, allowing both
conductor and players to more easily
manage the pulse. All instruments get
moving parts with vigorous melodies and
countermelodies while the original solos
have been integrated into the sections. An
excellent introduction to a classic piece of

for both middle and high school, even

the basses who shift to third position. This

favorite. (3:10)
