4 L'estro ArmonicoAntonio Vivaldi/arr. Bob
Lipton. Originally written as a concerto for two
violins, cello and strings, the piece was later
arranged by Bach as a concerto for solo organ. This
thoughtful arrangement draws on both versions and
showcases the genius of these two giants.

H Night on Bald MountainMussorgsky/arr.
Segnitz. Thrilling! Well-known in its full orchestra
version or from its scenes in Disney's "Fantasia,"
this arrangement is scored for string orchestra with
optional piano or organ, percussion, and timpani!

any concert!

n Overture to Ruslan and LyudmilaMikhail
Ivanovich Glinka/arr. McCashin. Although an
overture, Glinka fashioned this introduction to his
second opera in a Classical sonata form. His use of
enchanting Persian influenced totalities expanded
the breadth of European classical music of the
late 1800's and offers a rewarding challenge for
confident string groups.
10091994 String Orchestra . . . . . . . A 55.00
n Overture to SemiramideGioachino Rossini/
arr. Lipton. Rossini's overture incorporates multiple
themes from his opera, and contrary to convention
at the time, was composed after the opera was
complete. Arranger Bob Lipton's manageable
arrangement let's school ensembles tell the story...
from the flowing introduction to the brisk conclusion.
10091985 String Orchestra . . . M-MA 55.00
PassacagliaG.F. Handel/arr. Frost. Originally
written for keyboard, this arrangement showcases
Handel's mastery of this Baroque form. It freely
treats most of the variations to incorporate the
use of a variety of string performance techniques.
The techniques, tempo changes, style and position
requirements for various sections make it ideal for
advancing groups.
10351222 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 52.00
n PavaneGabriel Faure/arr. John O'Neill. Such
an emotive arrangement for your group! John
O'Neill brings this work to an accessible level
for maturing players by setting it in the key of G
minor, yet maintains its Impressionistic elegance.
The muted intention of Faure's work begs that the
pizzicato bass lines not be rushed, lest the effect be
disturbed. Optional solo features may not leave a
dry eye in the house!
10091983 String Orchestra . . . M-MA 45.00
n Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Op. 46Edvard Grieg/arr.
Gruselle. The "Peer Gynt Suite" themes are among
the most recognizable in classical history - many

the initial exposure. This arrangement of the four
movements by Gruselle contains: Morning Mood;
Aase's death; Anitra's dance and In the Hall of the
Mountain King.

Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis—
Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr. Hoffman.
This string
masterpiece received a big boost in popularity from the
movie "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World."
This piece combines the simple but elegant thematic material
of the Elizabethan church composer Thomas Tallis, later
expanded and modernized through the luxurious harmonies
of Vaughan Williams. Hoffman's lush arrangement, adapts
and simplifies the original version into a work that is ideal
for developing string orchestras. Performance options such
as doubling at the octave are given to re-create the sound
of the original. Lots of divisi writing makes this ideal for
combined or large orchestras! An excellent choice!

arr. Lipton.
When "The Rite of Spring" was first performed in
Paris in 1913, it created shock waves not only in the theater
where it was performed, but throughout the world of music.
It is one of the most revolutionary and significant pieces of
music of the 20th century. This arrangement tries to stay as
close to Stravinsky's vision as possible while allowing the
opportunity for students to perform a piece which sounds just
as fresh today as it did almost a century ago.
