Published by Bud Caputo (A0.826720). Directors should consider this arrangement in combination with Caputo’s arrangement of Helena Polka as a nice change of pace creating a Borodin medley. Of its four movements, the third movement Notturno, is the most famous movement of Borodin’s 1881, String Quartet No. 2 in D major. . Some scholars suggest that It was dedicated to his wife Ekaterina Protopova as a 20th anniversary gift and that it has a program evoking the couple's first meeting in Heidelberg. The solo cello part in the original is distributed to other voices to maintain student interest. Bowings have been carefully edited by Dr. Priscilla Howard creating a beautiful and lyrical selection.

Full Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1045771 Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Ben Trigg. 20th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Score and Parts. 58 pages. OlivePress Music #650358. Published by OlivePress Music (A0.1045771). This arrangement is for double winds, 4321 brass section, strings and percussion with optional xylophone. A 'full orchestra' version also exists for triple winds, 4331 brass, strings and xylophone included in the percussion section. Both arrangements are available in Eb (original key) or E (this one). Please note the audio and video samples reflect the 'full' orchestral version. One of Debussy's most popular piano pieces comes to the orchestra. The adventure leaps between the different sections as Debussy's toy clown tumbles between jollity and Wagnerian melancholy. The arrangement makes the most of Debussy's musical jibe at Wagner, bringing the 'Tristan' theme back to the cellos once more. A short work sure to delight and make a fizzling contribution to a concert programme. This version is transposed up a semitone from the original to the key of E (G for the middle section), to make it easier on some orchestral section players. Great for youth orchestras!Find the complete 'For Orchestra' catalogue from OlivePress Music at https://olivepressmusic.com/for-orchestra/

Published by MyMusicScores.com (A0.1374400). Carl Maria von Weber, composed the Andante e Rondo Ongarese, Op. 35, initially for viola and orchestra in 1809. Later, in 1813, Weber reworked the piece for bassoon and orchestra following the success of his Bassoon Concerto.The work consists of two movements, seamlessly interconnected yet contrasting in character. The first movement, Andante, set in the somber key of C minor, unfolds with a lyrical and expressive quality. Weber's use of the viola allows for a rich exploration of the instrument's capabilities, revealing both its melodic and expressive qualitiesThe second movement, Allegretto, in key of C major, introducing a lively and spirited theme. The playful and dance-like character of the rondo is enriched by Weber's use of Hungarian elements, reflecting the influence of the popular ongaresque style in European music during the early 19th century. The rhythmic vitality and infectious energy of this movement contribute to the overall charm of the composition.The PDF file contains the score and all parts.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998356 Composed by Aaron Fonzi. Children,Contemporary,Rock,Standards. Score and parts. 27 pages. Aaron Fonzi #3367893. Published by Aaron Fonzi (A0.998356).     This piece tells the epic story of Hades' abduction of his niece, Persephone. According to the legend, Hades came up through a crack in the ground and snatched the girl while she was playing. In the Underworld, he tried to seduce her in a variety of ways, but to no avail. Finally, Hades is said to have tricked her into staying by offering her a tempting pomegranate. As Persephone ate 6 seeds, she was to stay in the Underworld for six months each year. It is said that while Persphone is in the Underworld, the plants wither and die, and when she comes back to the surface she brings rebirth to growing things. This piece begins with playful pizzicato lines that build upon each other. These represent Persphone at play, but forebodes the dark forces that are encircling her. When the orchestra goes to arco, Persphone is being dragged into the Underworld. A mournful violin solo signifies her arrival, but this mournful theme is quickly replace by the devious seductions of Hades in the form of a humorous waltz. Finally, Hades offers the pomegranate to Persephone and she eats 6 seeds (represented by the six beats of the B major chord in measures 76 and 77). The main theme then takes over once again, modulating to F# minor to represent Hades' victory. With relentless energy, catchy ostinati and opportunities to work on shifting, pizzicato and arco throughout, this piece will not dissapoint for audiences and students alike. A FEW NOTES: 1. I'd recommend rehearsing the rhythms of recurring ostinati together- first pizzicato then arco. You may get creative and incorporate scales with these rhythms. However you do it, it'll be important that each ostinato is played with precision and confidence. 2. Have fun with the waltz section! It's meant to portray the strange, whimsical nature of Hades' attempts to woo Persephone, so the awkwardness in delivery is encouraged! 3. All ritardandos should be exaggerated for the sake of drama. 4. Encourage your drumset player to explore different ways of accompanying the orchestra- the drumset part is a blueprint, not definitive instructions. 5. Be sure to practice shifting into 2nd position for the modulation. I hope you and your students have a great time putting this epic piece together! I had a ton of fun writing it! ~Aaron Fonzi
