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

Disney film has exposed it to a huge audience,

Circumstance, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, The

"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.

structure on which the aria is built. Incorporating
