The TroutFranz Schubert/arr. Caponegro.
Presented here at the easy level, this well-known
tune from Franz Schubert's song Die Forelle (The
Trout) was also used in the 4th movement of his
famous "Trout Quintet." It is a tale about a large
trout living in a pond and the efforts of a determined
fisherman to catch it. Though the fisherman
perseveres, the fish always manages to escape
until one day the persistent fisherman catches
it. In this arrangement, the violas and cellos will
love having the opportunity to play the melody in
the middle section. Each set includes optional 3rd
Violin/Viola T.C. and piano parts.

Winter from "The Four Seasons" (Second
Movement)Antonio Vivaldi/arr. McCarrick.
This arrangement is simple enough for the violin,
viola, or cello soloist of your choice! Vivaldi's lyrical
second movement, now in G Major, stays true to
the original with the famous melody over pizzicato
accompaniment. Your students will enjoy playing
either the solo or the accompaniment part! 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! Highly recommended!

Dance and the famous jubilant Victory Melody set

form of the original while keeping the work quite
accessible for younger players. Epic!

The Abduction from the Seraglio (Overture)
W.A. Mozart/arr. Hoffman. From the comic
opera filled with pirates, Turkish princes,
kidnapping and daring rescues, Mozart's The
Abduction from the Seraglio is the piece of music
that generated the (possibly fictional) "too many
notes" story. It is written in the Turkish "janissary"
style, a style of music that fascinated Europe
at the time. In this arrangement, the right
hand of the piano is frequently written 8va to
help re-create the piccolo that figured prominently
in the original.

Alla Tchaikovskyarr. Richard Meyer. Check
out this fabulous show-stopper, because it's a
"must-play" for your orchestra! Incorporating 22
different melodies from the works of Tchaikovsky,
this is an incredibly clever and sometimes
humorous medley that even includes the 1812
Overture accompanied by the popping of paper
bags! It's amazing how seamlessly each melody
leads into the next. You would think Tchaikovsky
himself had intended it to work like this. We
guarantee that everyone...students, audience,
and yes, even grumpy musicologists will find this
delightful piece simply irresistible!

adaptation for string orchestra can be a centerpiece
of most any program. A wonderful addition to your
concert repertoire!
