Divertimento No. 11, K. 251—W.A.
Mozart/arr. R. Scott Whittington. This

work composed in Salzburg in 1776. The
original oboe and horn parts have been
redistributed among the strings in order to
share melodic interest among all players.

tempo marking is 108, this piece can be
played more quickly, based on the technical
abilities of the orchestra.

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas
Tallis—Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr.
Jamin Hoffman. This string masterpiece
rose in popularity after it was used in the
film Master and Commander: The Far
Side of the World. The simple, elegant
theme from Elizabethan church composer
Thomas Tallis was later expanded and
modernized by Vaughan Williams. This
lush arrangement adapts and simplifies
the original version into a work that is ideal
for developing string students. Doubled
octaves and divisi writing make this ideal
for large orchestras.

Fantasia on Greensleeves (What Child
Is This?)—Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. Scored for strings,
harp (keyboard) and two violin soloists, this
ethereal setting retains the form and texture
of the original while bringing it to a student-
friendly level. Melodic material is passed
effortlessly from one section to another,
and only the first violin solo requires third
position work. A rich setting of a classic
masterwork.

Hoe Down (from "Rodeo")—Aaron

edition has been carefully crafted for string
orchestra, allowing developing groups to
experience the joy of performing one of the
most popular works of the 20th century.

Hungarian Dance No. 1—Johannes
Brahms/arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle. Brahms
captures the fire and passion of Romanian
culture in these folk songs set to dance
styles. Intensity and drama is created
with dynamic exaggeration, abrupt tempo
changes, and contrasting bow styles. An
excellent way to encourage students to
listen and watch the conductor as they
engage with all the wonderfully rich sections
of the piece.

Infernal Galop (from Orpheus in the
Underworld, Act 2)—Jacques Offenbach/
arr. Steven Frackenpohl. From "Orpheus
in the Underworld," Act II by Jacques
Offenbach, this Grade 3.5 arrangement
keeps the brilliance and excitement of
the original. And of course, the instantly
recognizable can-can section is featured as
well. Duration 2:15

Jupiter (from "The Planets")—Gustav
Holst/arr. John Caponegro. This
arrangement of Jupiter is a challenging
piece for medium and medium-advanced
groups. While not quite contemporary
in style, the piece is modern enough in
concept to allow students the chance to
experience alternate treatments of themes
and motifs. A perfect concert piece for any
performance venue.

La bella cubana—José White/arr. Robert
Debbaut. In addition to numerous etudes
and a virtuosic violin concerto, violinist
Joseph (José) White Lafitte composed this
habanera for two violins, La Bella Cubana.
In this string orchestra arrangement of
a habanera originally composed for two
violins, the lyrical melodic solos are spread
throughout the orchestra. Traditional Cuban
dance rhythms in the middle theme capture
the vibrant joy of the original work.

La Forza del Destino Overture—Giuseppe
Verdi/arr. Michael Hopkins. The overture
to La Forza Del Destino was composed
when Italian composer, Giuseppe Verdi,
revised his opera for a performance at La
Scala in 1869. This arrangement captures
the full range of thematic contrasts and
emotion present in the original and will be
challenging and rewarding for developing
orchestras. Verdi intended the opening
agitated theme to represent fate, and
this melodic them unifies many different
thematic ideas in the overture. A musical
metaphor for the force of destiny - chaotic
on the surface, yet logical and coherent in
the depth of its design.

La Rejouissance, Sarabande, and
Gigue (from Suite TWV 55: D8)—G.P.
Telemann/arr. Robert D. McCashin. These
three movements: La Rejouissance,
Sarabande, and Gigue, are taken from
Telemann's seven movement Suite in
D, originally composed for trumpet and
orchestra. An excellent introduction to
late Baroque style playing for intermediate
students, featuring contrasting tempos,
dotted rhythms, and compound time
signatures in playable first position.
Includes violin 3 (viola in treble clef) and
alternate viola (violin 2 in alto clef) parts.

Maelstrom—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. A
treacherous storm motif acts as the
undercurrent to quotes from famous water-
themed compositions, including Smetana's
Die Moldau, the haunting Aquarium from
Saint-Sans' Carnival of the Animals, and
a traditional Irish sea chantey as melodies
overlap in this musical storm. Developing
players will refine articulation skills while
navigating some shifting, chromatic lines,
and a variety of rhythms in 6/8 time.

March of the Marionette—Charles
Gounod/arr. Caryn Wiegand Neidhold.
This familiar sneaky theme was originally
composed for solo piano by French
composer Charles Gounod in 1872 as a bit
of a joke about a particular music critic. The
mysterious and foreboding motif has since
been used in film and TV, most notably as
the theme for the show Alfred Hitchcock
Presents. This string orchestra arrangement
skillfully weaves the ominous melody into all
sections, retaining the original D minor key
with the traditional change to the parallel D
major in the middle. Players will experience
various accidentals in 6/8 meter, with
minimal shifting in first violin and cello. With
the ghostly whimsy of a danse macabre,
this scary classic is perfect for your fall or
Halloween concert!

11559132 Additional Score . . . . . 10.00
Marche Slav—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Carrie
Lane Gruselle. Tchaikovsky's most famous
march exemplifies the spirit of 19th century
nationalism as it was growing in Europe.
This exceptional arrangement set in A
minor (a more comfortable key than the
original Bb minor) has all the elements of
the original and lets your orchestra shine
without the need of winds and percussion.
A dramatic and memorable addition to any
concert!

Melody (from Three Short Pieces)—
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor/arr. Robert
Debbaut. Violinist and composer Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor was known for embracing
the previously unexplored song and dance
forms from his father's native West Africa
and incorporating them into his own very
European art music. The simply titled
Melody is taken from Three Short Pieces for
Organ, a set of lyrical pieces with tuneful,
songlike qualities.
