the original with the famous melody over
pizzicato accompaniment. The violin solo is
entirely in first position, and the viola and
cello soloists only need to know the first
three notes they learn in third position: D,
E, and F sharp on the A string!

Folk Dance and the famous jubilant Victory
Melody set over an exultant Russian
anthem. It follows the form of the original
while keeping the work quite accessible to
younger players. Epic!

Absolutely Beethoven (Mashup)—
Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Tyler Arcari.
This clever mashup of popular Beethoven
works including Allegro con brio from

Adagio from "Spartacus"—Aram
Khachaturian/arr. Robert Longfield.

Adoration—Florence Price/arr. Thomas
Taylor Dickey. Written in 1951, just two
years before the composer's death, this
slow, meditative piece originally for solo
organ reminds the listener of a prelude
or offertory piece at church. With a
performance time of approximately five
minutes, a slow tempo marking, and its
ability to be performed almost entirely in
first position by all sections, this beautiful
work should be in the library of every school
orchestra program.
11357706 String Orchestra . . ME 41.00
Allegretto (Symphony No. 7, Movement
2)—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. The second movement
of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 has
enormous popularity with performers and
audiences. This thoughtful version goes
beyond a cursory repeat of the famous
theme by including developmental material
from the movement which gives a more
complete understanding of Beethoven's
intent. This remains faithful to the original
and makes for an excellent performance!
Highly recommended!
