It maintains the entirety of the solo line (creatively shared by the two soloists) as well as the full “Beethoven sound” in the orchestration.

Todd Parrish. Firmly rooted in the standard violin repertoire, Symphonie Espagnole is a brilliant work that showcases the violin's lyrical beauty and technical virtuosity with a Spanish style. After keeping the opening solo passage, the powerful melodies are then passed throughout the orchestra. The first movement is arranged here for string orchestra, shortened and simplified for playability. However, Lalo's original fiery masterpiece comes through clearly. The optional timpani part is highly recommended to achieve the most authentic sound. 10696548 String Orchestra. . . . . . .MA 52.00 10696549 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 4 Symphony in D (First Movement)Ignaz Pleyel/arr. Robert D. McCashin. Pleyel's Symphony in D is a delightful yet powerful work.

Brian Holmes. Inspired by Dvorak's visit to America, original melodies are found throughout the work and are masterfully crafted to create a powerful portrayal of the region. This arrangement of the first movement carefully preserves much of the original elements while condensing instrumentation down to a string orchestra format with optional timpani. 10568213 String Orchestra. . . . . . .MA 55.00 10568214 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")Sergei Proko- fiev/arr.

Then violas assume the melodic lead in the middle section of the piece before a strong tutti finish. 10492375 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 10492376 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 H AftershockLarry Clark. Beginning with a bold and aggressive fanfare-type statement and a number of dramatic pauses, this forceful piece is sure to make an impact on the audience. Using two repeated eighth note patterns as the most difficult rhythm, the theme includes some dissonances that create musical tension. The dynamics bring out the emotion of the piece from beginning to end. Intense! 10277937 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 10277938 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . 6.00 l Air of NobilityJames Swearingen.

In every great story there is always an antagonist, the character whose opposing force is central to the success of the story. This concept has been applied to music in this selection for string orchestra. The piece is aggressive and at times purposely antagonizing. Designed with the youngest of players in mind, it works on simple repeated eighth-note patterns as the foundation for the melodic material. Interesting parts are provided for all instruments, and everyone gets to play the melody. Impressive! 10093742 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 40.00 Appalachian HymnSoon Hee Newbold. This lyrical work was inspired by the traditional folk tunes and hymns of the Appalachians. Using mostly a simple pentatonic scale, the warm melody evokes rustic images of the American outdoors. The writing makes even smaller groups sound full. This is an ideal choice for your next concert. 2480753 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 l AspirationsLarry Clark.
