Classical Selections medium / medium-advanced & advanced
n Romanian Folk DancesBela Bartok/arr.
Monday. This arrangement features four of the
six dance movements as first arranged by Bartok.
Joc Cu Bata; Buciumeana; Poarga Romanesca and
Marunte are exotic-sounding and dramatic. These
are perfect for the medium level orchestra ready for
concert, contest, or just "wowing" the audience.
2478286 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 48.00
n Rondo (from "Incidental Music for Abdelazer")
Henry Purcell/arr. Stroud. This noble theme
is the Purcell tune that Benjamin Britten used
as the basis for his Young Person's Guide to the
Orchestra. Douglas Stroud has fashioned a short
Rondo for strings, using additional dance music
from Purcell's suite. Rich, full bowing within the
3/2 meter offers many teaching opportunities when
rehearsing this exceptional music.
10283748 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 40.00
l Rondo from "Horn Concerto in D Major, K 412"
W.A. Mozart/arr. J. Cameron Law. Completed
the last year of his life, the Mozart "Horn Concerto
in D Major" is full of the exuberant melodic material
and spontaneous creativity for which much of
Mozart's output is known. This movement of the
concerto stands alone very well, and works very
well as a string orchestra piece without horn.
10520421 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 60.00
4 Royal Fireworks OvertureG.F. Handel/Todd
Parrish. This highly energetic work will add sparkle
to any concert. Featuring the entire Allegro section

Baroque style, dotted rhythms, and successive 16th
note passages. (3:30)
10520849 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 49.00
n Russian Sailors DanceReinhold Gliere/arr.
Caponegro. Grade 4 groups will enjoy this well-
arranged piece from Reinhold Glire's classic ballet
"The Red Poppy." Using a theme and variation
form, John Caponegro has included all the tempo
changes that are idiomatic to this characteristic
dance. Three optional percussion parts are
included. Duration 3:15.

n Russlan and LudmillaMikhail Glinka/arr.
Sieving. The audience may not know who Glinka
was, but they will know the themes from this ever-
popular Russian overture! Whether played as an
opener or closer, concert or contest, this piece
really shows what your string players can do!
Arranged with careful attention to the original, all
parts are playable in first and third positions.
10026988 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 65.00
l SarabandeJ.S. Bach/arr. Jeffrey S. Bishop.
This beautiful work, arranged from the original
cello solo, features lush orchestrations that
showcase the sensitivity and precision of every
member of the ensemble. Extensive use of vibrato,
espressivo bow styles, and a limited use of shifting
make this arrangement a gorgeous centerpiece for
your next concert.
10520851 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 46.00
n ScheherazadeRimsky-Korsakov/arr. Gruselle.
Students finally have the opportunity to play this
Romantic masterpiece by Rimsky-Korsakov,
inspired by the story of "1001 Arabian Nights."
Incorporating themes from all four movements, this
arrangement provides study opportunity for young
string students in a wide variety of keys, tempi,
articulations, accidentals, rhythmic challenges, and
expressive styles. As is the case in the original, a
violin soloist is featured as the narrator of the tales.
No shifting is required for the second violin and
viola. Excellent!
10027371 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00
l Scherzo from "Symphony No. 2"Ludwig van
Beethoven/arr. Jamin Hoffman. Share the power
and artistry of a Beethoven symphony with your
intermediate to advanced string ensembles in this
skilled adaptation.
10492357 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
Seven Scottish AirsGustav Holst/arr. Phillips.
What if you found a Holst work for strings that
no one has played before? Well, here it is! This
wonderful collection of Scottish airs was originally
for string quartet and piano, and has been faithfully
transcribed for string orchestra and optional piano.
Technically easier than the St. Paul Suite, but with
a similar feel, Seven Scottish Airs is the perfect
introduction to the music of Holst.
10026995 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00
H Symphony No. 1 in D Major (Movement II)
Gustav Mahler/arr. Dackow. This scherzo-like
2nd movement from Mahler's "First Symphony"
is a vigorous, exuberant work that evokes rustic
good times. Excellent for building confidence
and teaching aggressive playing, this is a superb
selection for both rehearsal and performance!
2215234 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
n Symphony No. 8 in G Major (Finale)Dvorak/
arr. Dackow. The Finale from Dvorak's "Symphony
No. 8 In G Major," with its oft-recurring,
very strong theme, is a most impressive work for
any performance!
2216109 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 60.00
n Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished" - First Move-
mentFranz Schubert/arr. McCashin. This works
beautifully with strings alone! From the mysterious
opening, to one of Schubert's best melodies, to the
dramatic conclusion, this arrangement captures
the essence of Schubert's "Unfinished!" It's like
a new addition to the string orchestra repertoire!
Your students will enjoy performing this and your
audience will be very impressed.
10027377 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
Symphony No. 25, First Movement
W.A. Mozart/arr. Brubaker. This fresh new
arrangement retains all of the fire and passion
found in Mozart's first minor key symphony! The
oboe and horn parts have been assimilated into the
string parts. The second violin and viola parts are
playable in first position, and the use of optional
notes and divisi make the first violin, cello, and bass
parts accessible to less advanced players. Mature
junior high and high school players will enjoy
playing this energetic movement which opens the
movie "Amadeus!"
10027606 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 60.00
l Symphony #104F.J. Haydn/arr. Jan Farrar-
Royce. Often thought to be some of Haydn's best
work, this symphony is perfectly set for strings
with the brass and wind parts easily covered. Your
students and your audience will find this excellent
example of classical form intriguing and enjoyable.
10522583 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 58.00
n Themes from "Romeo and Juliet"
P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Gruselle. Gift your string
orchestra these expertly distilled themes from
Tchaikovsky's orchestral saga of the most dramatic
teenagers in love. This handful of excerpts presents
ample expressive material and a grand emotional
range found in the most memorable Shakespearian
love story.
10307179 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00
4 Trio SonataDomenico Gallo/arr. Deborah
Baker Monday. This work originated in 1780,
but was made famous by Igor Stravinsky in
his arrangements of pieces for "Pulcinella."
A phenomenal arrangement (from Gallo's original)
for students today to learn, enjoy, and perform.
10523480 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00
Viola Concerto (Second Movement)Georg
Philipp Telemann/arr. Todd Parrish. Not just for
the viola section! Both violins and violas get the
exuberant melody in this very playable arrangement
of the Baroque classic. Violists will appreciate the
opportunity to showcase the beauty and power of
their instrument.
10444035 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
l VocaliseSergei Rachmaninoff/arr. Douglas
E. Wagner. The calming strains of this incredibly
beautiful music have been thoughtfully and
carefully scored in this string arrangement. The
composer's full orchestration has been pared
down to its basic elements, leaving a work that will
captivate your audiences.
10522577 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 58.00
Waltz No. 2Shostakovich/arr. Lavender.
Shostakovich's waltz has become an international
icon, made popular by artists like Andre Rieu and
heard prominently in Stanley Kubrick's final film,
"Eyes Wide Shut." Taken from Shostakovich's
Suite for Variety Orchestra, Paul Lavender's skillful
adaptation is ideally suited for both serious and
light programming.

n Academic Festival OvertureBrahms/arr.
McCashin. This arrangement offers exciting
opportunities for more mature players. A
combination of juxtaposed and interlocking double-
stops are used to maintain the sonorous depth of
Brahms' original work. Several edits have been
made to bring this to a more appropriate length for
concert and festival performances. Although this is
ideal for large string orchestras, also consider using
it for a chamber group of your finest musicians!
2480768 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 60.00
Adagio and PrestoF.J. Haydn/arr. Robert
Sieving. The fabulous setting of this great
symphony will provide opportunities to develop
spiccato bowing technique. It's perfect for any
contest or concert.
10453659 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 60.00
H Adagio for StringsSamuel Barber. Originally
written as the slow movement of a string quartet, this
musical treasure was singled out by conductor Arturo
Toscanini, who asked Barber for a string orchestra
arrangement. It was played on a national radio
broadcast following the death of president Roosevelt
and has been part of the national consciousness ever
since. This is a work of singular beauty and calls for
great expressiveness and control.
427328 String Orchestra . . . . . . . A 45.00
l Air with Variations No. 14Charles-Auguste
deBeriot/arr. Robert Frost. Also known as Air Varie,
this is a true showcase for an advanced violist. Set

moving into 14 short variations plus a coda. Solo is
grade 5 and orchestra parts are grade 3.
10523439 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 55.00
n Allegro ModeratoW.A. Mozart/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. The first movement from Mozart's
"Symphony No. 29" contains that delicate balance

tempestuous energy. This shockingly authentic
arrangement allows your string students to
experience all the intensity of the original without
having to bring in wind players.
10454282 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 60.00
n Allegro MoltoW.A. Mozart/arr. John O'Neill.
The first movement from Mozart's "Symphony
No. 40" is arguably one of the most well-known
melodies in all of Classical literature. This
arrangement goes well beyond the melody to give a
broad representation of the entire movement, while
remaining very accessible to students.
10454284 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 55.00
4 Capriccio EspagnolNikolai Rimsky-Korsakov/
arr. Robert D. McCashin. This resetting for string
orchestra has successfully kept the composer's
intent, and to a great extent, the sounds and colors

substantial string forces, it's fully approachable
by quality high school groups. It consists of five
connected movements based on Spanish themes.
A terrific addition as a primary work for any concert!
