1812 Overture—Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. This
magnificent and meticulously presented
arrangement includes the gorgeous
opening in the original key of E-flat major,
the exciting C minor imitative, and the
transitional section arriving at the iconic
military theme. A unique offering of favorite
themes that culminate in a spectacular
finale. Optional percussion. Cello part splits
into cello 1 and 2, both divisi.

Academic Festival Overture—J. Brahms/
arr. Robert D. McCashin. This arrangement
offers exciting opportunities for more mature
players. A combination of juxtaposed
and interlocking double-stops are used to
maintain the sonorous depth of Brahms'
original work. Several edits have been made
to bring this to a more appropriate length for
concert and festival performances. Although
this is ideal for large string orchestras, also
consider using it for a chamber group of your
finest musicians!

Adagio for Strings—Samuel Barber.
Originally written as the slow movement of
a string quartet, this musical treasure was
singled out by conductor Arturo Toscanini,
who asked Barber for a string orchestra
arrangement. It was played on a national
radio broadcast following the death of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and has
been part of the national consciousness ever
since. This is a work of singular beauty and
calls for great expressiveness and control.

Adagio from Symphony No. 8 (Second
Movement)—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. Dvorak's 8th Symphony is
often referred to as his Pastoral symphony
for its optimistic and uplifting themes.
With contrasting melancholy minor and
lighthearted major folk-like melodies,
this arrangement of the Adagio second
movement features dramatic dynamics,
solo lines, and thick, lush harmonies for
advanced string orchestra.

Allegro con Brio from "Symphony
No. 8"—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert D.
McCashin. This spectacular arrangement
features the first movement of Dvorak's
well-known "Symphony No. 8." While the
arrangement has been made accessible
to younger ensembles, it retains all the
expressiveness and primary thematic
material of the original work. A delightful
and spirited piece that will surely captivate
your orchestra and audience!

Allegro Moderato—W.A. Mozart/arr.
Robert D. McCashin. The first movement
from Mozart's "Symphony No. 29" contains
that delicate balance between his graceful
lyricism and his signature tempestuous
energy. This shockingly authentic
arrangement allows your string students
to experience all the intensity of the original
without having to bring in wind players.

10454315 Additional Score . . . . . . 6.00
Allegro Moderato (from "Symphony No.
3")—Camille Saint-Saens/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. This movement of the
famous "Organ Symphony" includes two of
the most memorable themes ever penned
by Saint-Saens. This arrangement includes
the highly energetic string theme and the
beautiful fugue based on his four-note
theme which cycles throughout the entire
symphony. The two contrasting sections
of this arrangement offer two extremes of
bowing style: one requiring heavy strokes
at the frog and the other using legato,
expressive, full bowing.

Apocalyptic (Finale from Symphony No.
8)—Anton Bruckner/arr. Kirk Moss. All the
power and force of the Finale of Bruckner's
Eighth Symphony is masterfully captured in
this authentic and first-ever arrangement
for string orchestra. Mature players will
have the opportunity to expand on their
shifting and vibrato technique as well as
overall musicianship by exploring varying
bow weights and speeds to create the
wide variety of tone and dynamics that are
required. An optional timpani part greatly
enhances the intensity. A great addition to
the classical repertoire!

Capriccio Espagnol—Nikolai Rimsky-
Korsakov/arr. Robert D. McCashin.
This resetting for string orchestra has
successfully kept the composer's intent,
and to a great extent, the sounds and colors
of the original orchestration. While requiring
some substantial string forces, it's fully
approachable by able high school groups.
It consists of five connected movements
based on Spanish themes. A terrific
addition as a primary work for any concert!

Capriol Suite—Peter Warlock. This
staple of the string orchestra repertoire,
composed in 1927, is based on a suite
of six Renaissance dances. Each dance
offers a different mood and rhythm, and
together they form an excellent concert
work. Original edition.

Charterhouse Suite—Ralph Vaughan
Williams/arr. James Brown. Ralph Vaughan
Williams' charming suite of dances in the
English style is a mainstay of the string
orchestra concert repertoire. Adapted in
collaboration with the composer from the
1921 Suite of Six Short Pieces. The scoring
is colorful and lighthearted, providing
artistic and pedagogical opportunities for
moderately advanced students. New edition
and engraving.

Concerto in D Minor, Mvt. 1 (The
"Bach Double")—J.S. Bach/arr. Larry
Moore. Everyone is familiar with this one!
The standard piece known as the "Bach
Double" features two capable violin soloists.
Arranged for string orchestra with optional
piano (or harpsichord), the viola, cello and
bass sections play throughout as the two
solo violin parts alternate between tutti
sections and solo sections.

Dance of the Tumblers—Nikolai Rimsky-
Korsakov/arr. Todd Parrish. Shifting
is required for 1st violins, cellos, and
basses, while 2nd violins and violas get
exceptionally rich parts of sixteenth notes
and melody throughout. This energetic
dance will be a welcome challenge for
advanced orchestras.

Danse Negre from African Suite, Op.
35, No. 4—Samuel Coleridge-Taylor/
arr. Deborah Baker Monday. Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor was extraordinary in
his use of themes from African American
folk music, and his success contributed
to the empowerment of African American
musicians and composers who came after
him. The final movement from a larger work,
this high-energy piece is one spectacular
example of Coleridge-Taylor's talent.
Fingerings are clearly marked to facilitate
technical passages. This is a perfect
concert closer!

infectious feel - a classic work for contest
and festival consideration.
