or even to be played as an octet in chamber
music programs.

Hebrides OvertureFelix Mendelssohn/arr. Jason
Librande. Now string orchestras alone can enjoy this
massive work of the orchestral repertoire for contest
or any concert performance. Mendelssohn's classic
melody follows the ebb and flow of the ocean waves
as each section adds its voice to a vivid musical
portrait. The overture requires skill in bow control
and ensemble work with advanced rhythms, but
the result is dynamic and just as compelling as its
counterpart for full orchestra.

masterpiece received a big boost in popularity from the

arrangement, adapts and simplifies the original version
into a work that is ideal for developing string orchestras.

writing makes this ideal for combined or large orchestras!
