Adagio for Strings—Samuel Barber. Originally
written as the slow movement of a string quartet,

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.

Allegro Moderato (from "Symphony No. 3")—
Camille Saint-Saëns/arr. Deborah Baker Monday.

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.

Cuban dance. Violins, violas, and cellos all get to
try their hands at this famous melody.
