Mozart/arr. Loreta Fin. The "Requiem" by Mozart was left unfinished upon his death in 1791. He composed only the first eight bars of the Lacrymosa, which was later completed by a student. Mozart's original string parts have been described as "falling tears." In this arrangement, the choral parts are shared by the upper strings and the "tears" mostly fall from the celli. A truly beautiful and emotional work. 10522641 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 10522645 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 H Marche SlavTchaikovsky/arr. Gruselle. Tchaikovsky's most famous march exemplifies the spirit of 19th century nationalism as it was growing in Europe.

A dramatic and memorable addition to any concert! 10047947 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 4 Menuetto from "Symphony No. 5"Franz Schubert/arr. Robert D. McCashin.

Dackow. "Always merry and bright" is how Grainger described this cheerful tune! Composed in the style of the traditional English "Morris Dance," this completely original work could be described as sort of an English "Brandenburg Concerto." Delightful! 2353696 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 60.00 5813845 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . 10.50 n Moorish DanceGiuseppe Verdi/arr. Pasquale Tassone & J. Cameron Law.

This well- constructed arrangement for strings will work as a snappy opener or an exciting closer. 10609932 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 10609933 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 n Music from "Carmina Burana"Carl Orff/arr.

Ricketts. This famous aria has been done up in a grand operatic style! All the stops are pulled out as the strings use solos, bowed tremolo close to the bridge, pizzicato, divisi, and more to create all the excitement of Puccini's most famous aria. First violins have a brief but lyrical moment up in the fifth position. Timpani and percussion parts are included. 2475742 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 5986045 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 NimrodEdward Elgar/arr. Bender. This ninth variation from Elgar's "Enigma Variations" is the most played and most beautiful of the variations. Due to its overwhelming expressive quality, it has become England's counterpart to Adagio for Strings, being played when music of great emotion and dignity is called for in that country. This fine arrangement moves the key center from Eb to the more string-friendly D. With some very nice divisi writing, this makes an ideal choice for any string orchestra, and especially nice for larger or combined string orchestras. 2471555 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 l NimrodEdward Elgar/arr. Clark McAlister. More popularly known as the "Enigma Variations," Elgar's orchestral concept was a work with fourteen variations on an original theme. Composed between 1898 and 1899, Elgar used each variation to capture an image, incident, or idea that specifically referenced his friends. Nimrod is one of the most beautiful and memorable of all the movements. 10738743 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 35.00 10738744 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 NocturneFrederic Chopin/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. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 10091984 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 H Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Op. 46Edvard Grieg/arr. Gruselle. The "Peer Gynt Suite" themes are among the most recognizable in classical history - many of us have Saturday morning cartoons to thank for 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. 10091979 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 Pictures at an ExhibitionModest Mussorgsky/ arr.

Robert D. McCashin. Featuring the overture of Stravinsky's landmark work, this adaptation was drawn from the original piano/vocal ballet score and retains all of the original, well-known thematic and rhythmic material. This outstanding string arrangement is an ideal way to feature several soloists within the ensemble. 10752902 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 10752903 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 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 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 10068608 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 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 2478287 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 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 10283749 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 Russian Sailors DanceReinhold Gliere / arr. Caponegro. Grade 4 groups will enjoy this well- arranged piece from Reinhold Glire's classic ballet "The Red Poppy."

Three optional percussion parts are included. 2479427 String Orchestra, Percussion Opt . . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 10034505 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 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 10027372 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 l Andante for String OrchestraAlexander Scriabin/arr. Jeffery S. Bishop. Russian composer Alexander Scriabin was known for his chromatic, almost bitonal, harmonies. This lesser-known gem, arranged into G major, showcases the sheer beauty of the evident chromaticism in this soaring ballad; with this arrangement it's now accessible to high school string orchestras. 10758263 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 10758264 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 Serenade for StringsP.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Meyer. Very faithful to the original but arranged with the younger player in mind, this setting of an orchestral staple has it all, and is sure to challenge every section of your orchestra. The lyrical opening section will develop their expressive playing and bow control, while the bustling main theme will give everyone's fingers a great technical workout. A terrific way to give your students a taste of musical history, this piece makes a perfect closer or contest selection. 10310655 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 56.00 10310657 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 4 Serenade for Strings, Op. 22 (First Movement) Antonin Dvorak/arr. Jeremy Woolstenhulme. Serenade for Strings, Op. 22, First Movement is presented in its entirety in G major (from the original E major), making it wonderfully accessible to less advanced ensembles.

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 4 SinfoniaG.F. Handel/arr. Janice McAllister. This first movement from Handel's great masterpiece "Messiah" is carefully edited to reflect bowings obtained from renowned Baroque specialists. These bowing styles will ensure an interpretation of Sinfonia that is true to the Baroque performance tradition of Handel's time. 10752510 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 10752511 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 Pepper meets the needs of all programs… large or small.
