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.

20th-century English composer.
10288419 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 71.00
4 Presto from Symphony No.1F.J. Haydn/
arr. Robert D. McCashin. The opening movement
of Haydn's first symphony demonstrates his
substantial range of invention, organization of
thought, musical ideas, and inventive compositional
prowess. Full of rhythmic and harmonic surprises,

for any concert!
10512578 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00
n Procession of the NoblesNikolai Rimsky-
Korsakov/arr. Deborah Baker Monday. This famous
processional will bring a sense of regal pomp to
your next special event. It features all the glorious
fanfares, gallant melodies, and dulcet lyricism of
the original, while also keeping a keen pedagogical
eye on the needs of young string players. Ideal for
school assemblies, graduations, and other important
functions requiring a little extra pageantry.
10458743 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00
H The Red PonyAaron Copland/arr. Morales.
The mere mention of the name Copland
suggests American music, and in many cases the
American West. Most familiar is his ballet suite
"Rodeo," but his film score to the movie "The
Red Pony" is just as enjoyably characteristic.
"The Red Pony" is based on a novel by John
Steinbeck, and this version is taken from the suite
Copland created out of his film score. Included
are the following sections: Morning On The
Ranch; Dream March; Walk To The Bunkhouse
and Happy Ending. Don't miss this chance to let
your students play the music of one of America's
greatest composers!
2438083 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 65.00
Requiem (The Fifth)Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Phillips. As performed by the Trans-Siberian
Orchestra in their live concert tour titled Beethoven's
Last Night, now your orchestra can play Beethoven
and Mozart in a whole new way. Add the rhythm
section for maximum impact. An optional electric
violin/guitar part provides the perfect spot to feature
an electric instrument. This one really rocks!
10310465 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 64.00
The Rite of Spring ThemesIgor Stravinsky/
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.
10053860 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00

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
H Rondo (from "the Incidental Music for Abdelazer")
Henry Purcell/arr. Douglas 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
n Royal Fireworks OvertureG.F. Handel/
arr. Todd Parrish. This highly energetic work will
add sparkle to any concert. Featuring the entire
Allegro section from the original overture, students

successive 16th-note passages.

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.
2479427 String Orchestra,
Percussion Opt. . . . . . . . . . 52.00
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
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 Movement
Franz 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 MovementW.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 . . . . . . . . . 62.00
4 Symphony No. 104 (Finale)Franz Joseph
Haydn/arr. Todd Parrish. This exuberant finale from
"Symphony No. 104" is Haydn at his best. The
memorable theme is given to each section, and
edits were made to give high school orchestras the
best sound possible. Introduce your students to this
master symphony writer to help reinforce Classical
style, bow technique, shifting, and dynamics.

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
l Three ChoralesJ.S. Bach/arr. Loreta Fin.
These three short chorales (G Major, G Minor, G
Major) are excellent warm-up exercises and are
also very useful for training ensembles to listen for
pure intonation. Vibrato and tone quality can also
be emphasized, as well as watching the conductor
for pauses and upbeats. Dynamics are suggested,
to assist with the shaping of phrases. Each chorale
can stand alone as a processional or recessional for
special occasions.
10595009 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
4 Toccata PrimaJohan Ernst Eberlin/arr. Bob
Lipton. Originally written for organ, this transcription
contains a wide array of musical opportunities. From
the rich and broad sections to the softer and lighter
moments, the music has interesting passages for
every member of the orchestra. It's an excellent
change of pace with a full and dramatic ending.
10592173 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
4 Tritsch Tratsch PolkaJohann Strauss, Jr./
arr. Clark McAlister. Polkas remain popular

Strauss is both melodic, fun, and a good choice
for lighter programming.
10617980 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
H
Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")Sergei
Prokofiev/arr. Wieloszynski. This charming number
takes its name from a Russian sleigh called a
"troika," pulled by three horses and common in
wintertime. The melody is really quite familiar,
bright and bouncy as it evokes the sleigh. Parts are
carefully edited for school age players, and many
techniques are included, but can be omitted if too
hard. Optional percussion parts are included. This
would be a great choice for a wintertime concert!
2313955 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00
l Two Chorale PreludesJohannes Brahms/arr.
Clark McAlister. These preludes exhibit the unique
combination of melody and harmony that could only

sublime additions to the repertoire.
10617982 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
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

their instrument.

H Waltz No. 2Shostakovich/arr. Lavender.
Shostakovich's waltz has become an international
icon, made popular by artists like Andre Rieu and

"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 62.00
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
n Allegro ModeratoW.A. Mozart/arr. Robert
D. McCashin. The first movement from Mozart's

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
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
of the original orchestration. While requiring some
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!
10500790 String Orchestra . . . . . MA 95.00
H Capriol SuitePeter Warlock. This staple of the

Dance of the TumblersNikolai Rimsky-Korsakov/
arr. Todd Parrish. Shifting is required for 1st violins,
