Eine Kleine NachtmusikW.A. Mozart/arr.
Phillips. Here's authentic Mozart for young players
that's brilliantly arranged into a shortened version of
the ever-popular first movement! It's very accessible
and approachable for young orchestras due to a
shift into the key of D. Now, all the parts are easily
reachable in first position. It's like having a new
addition to the standard repertoire for beginning and
intermediate orchestras! Very nicely done!

H Evening PrayerHumperdinck/arr. Del Borgo.
This one is really enchanting. Del Borgo has set
this familiar, plaintive melody from the operetta
"Hansel And Gretel" at a relatively easy level, but
there's so much beauty in the inner harmonies that
more advanced groups will definitely want to look
at it. Wonderful!

H Fantasia 2000Various/arr. Blake Neely. We're
not sure whether to call this one Classical or Pop,
so we'll call it both! Musically, all of the pieces
used in Disney's film "Fantasia 2000" are fabulous
classical selections known to most everyone. And
from the popular angle, the music's use in the
Disney film has exposed it to a huge audience,
which is a great thing! Let your orchestra recreate
the excitement of the movie soundtrack with this
great medley of Carnival Of The Animals, Pomp and
Circumstance, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, The
Sorcerer's Apprentice and Firebird Suite.

n For Unto UsG. F. Handel/arr. Frost. Handel's
"Messiah" holds a special place of importance in
the concert repertoire, being frequently performed
not only at Christmas, but also at Easter and
other times of the year. This arrangement is an
important addition to the medium-easy orchestra
library because it allows students to perform
this wonderful chorus without full symphonic
instrumentation. Third position is required of 1st
violin, with limited position work in the cello and
bass parts; some upper string parts are divisi as
well. Students will enjoy having the opportunity to
perform this well-known and beloved chorus.

examples of graceful part-writing, voicings, and
chord progressions. Your students will grow
musically from playing them often!

players. Dazzling!

various dynamic changes and accented playing.

n Grand March from "Aida"Giuseppe Verdi/
arr. Hall. Verdi's music transcends the boundaries
of its genre: an excerpt from "Aida" has become
part of popular culture. This arrangement includes
a significant number of bowings and fingerings to
assist less experienced players, but still retains the
spirit and flavor of the full orchestra original.

settings. This string adaptation from A Fresh Aire
Christmas uses a variety of textures, counter-
melodies and approachable string techniques to
build emotional intensity throughout this impressive
program number.

Habanera (from "Carmen")Georges Bizet/
arr. Brubaker. This aria, probably the most popular
habanera ever, lends itself in a superb fashion to
the string orchestra. Even in the opera score, the
cello is the anchor, providing the rhythmic and tonal
structure on which the aria is built. Incorporating
many special effects, including optional tambourine
and triangle, this new setting is as fun to play as it is
to listen to. Truly a must for any string library!

century master. Harmonically complex and extremely
compelling - once you listen to this, you'll be hooked!

Dance of the Reed Flutes—Tchaikovsky/
arr. Gruselle.
Taken from Act II of Tchaikovsky's timeless
"Nutcracker" ballet, Carrie Lane Gruselle's arrangement of

Christmas favorite into secular holiday concerts for upper
elementary/middle performers.

Echoes of Bartok—Bela Bartok/arr. Cummings.
Combining themes from two Bartok piano pieces from
his collection For Children, the essence of Bartok's East

composed in the style of Mozart, although the composer's
own personality does shine through. There is a strong
emphasis on different bowing techniques including spiccato,
legato bowing, successive strong crossings and down bows.
Enjoyable for the audience, too! Recorded by Michigan State
University Orchestra on the CD Teaching Music Through

Overture to "The Magic Flute"—W.A. Mozart/
arr. Hoffman.

performed worldwide each year. From its iconic, majestic

Symphony No. 38—W.A. Mozart/arr. Parrish.
Celebrate the spirit of Bohemia at your next festival or
concert with this acclaimed masterpiece. This arrangement
uses material from the Allegro section of the first movement
in the original key of D. The fugal nature of this movement
gives each section a chance to play melodic passages. Care
has been taken to preserve the energy of the original while
seamlessly transferring wind and brass parts into the string
section. Advanced shifting is required, along with the ability
to perform syncopation and spiccato.
