Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the "Brandenburg Concerti!" Not just a cute novelty, but an entirely new work! It captures the spirit of the "Brandenburgs," but sets most of them in minor keys, or uses darker tones, pizzicato, and meter changes J.S. Bach would never have imagined! This is an inventive and challenging work that will take your intermediate strings on an almost nine- minute tour de force that will build their endurance along with their musicality! Highly recommended for concert and contest! 10050371 String Orchestra. . . . . . .MA 62.00 10050372 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 Hebrides OvertureFelix Mendelssohn/arr.
