Par GRIEG EDVARD. Grieg Holberg Suite (From Holberg\'s Time) Op.40 (Full Score) Suite in the Olden Style for String Orchestra To celebrate the 200th birthday of the playwright Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754), a statue was erected in his honour in 1884. Edvard Grieg, who, like Holberg, was born in Bergen, was commissioned to write an open-air cantata for the ceremony. But he also refers to Holberg in his instrumental music. The result was a ?powdered wig piece? (as Grieg wrote to his publisher) that hearkens back to Holberg?s era ? a historicising suite of baroque dances for piano, ranging from an exhilarating prelude and several dance numbers to a Bachian ?air? and an impetuous ?rigaudon?. Later Grieg arranged his ?Suite in the Olden Style? for string orchestra. This version became one of his most popular compositions. For our new scholarly-critical edition Christoph Rinne-Schroeder has meticulously examined the original print and compared it with previously neglected performance material annotated by Grieg himself. - New Urtext edition of this popular work for string orchestra - Based on previously neglected sources by Grieg himself - String parts in a practical large format (25.5 cm x 32.5 cm) / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

for Strings Score and Parts. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Sinfonia No. 15 by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally for piano solo, is now available for string orchestras because of Shirl Jae Atwell\'s musical arrangement. Sinfonia No. 15 arranged in the original key of B minor, with an altered time signature from 9/16 to 9/8, is much more friendly for student musicians. Bach\'s Sinfonia No. 15, arranged by Atwell, is a great addition to string orchestra programs through dance-like eighth notes and flashy sixteenth-note arpeggiated sections creating an exciting Baroque experience. Teachers will love exploring the key of B minor, arpeggios galore for all instruments, bow distribution with 1/16ths as well as sustained notes, and the overall Baroque style found in this string orchestra arrangement by Atwell. Sinfonia No. 15 treats orchestras and audiences to the allure of the Baroque Era. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Dvorak's Serenade in E major for string orchestra is one of his most popular and frequently played works. It was written in the spring of 1875, when he had just experienced his first successes at the conductor's podium and had received a state arts scholarship. The score and parts were published by Bote and Bock, Berlin, in 1879. This Urtext edition is based on the composer's autograph score. It corrects mistakes found in the first edition and so, for the first time, the editor incorporates omitted passages from the autograph, marking them with Vi-de. This reconstruction makes it possible to clarify the piece's structure. The author of the Foreword, Katerina Nova, is head of the Dvorak Museum in Prague. / Orchestre A Cordes

In keeping with the efforts of developing a curriculum that fosters Comprehensive Musicianship, this string orchestra arrangement of three of the most popular Renaissance madrigals, will provide your students with a peak into this period of music history that is frequently overlooked. 'Now Is the Month of Maying,' 'Sing We and Chant It,' both by Thomas Morley, and 'Fair Phyllis,' by John Farmer, are basic choral repertoire found in most high school and college full SATB and madrigal ensembles. The string ensemble may perform the arrangement alone with the added Renaissance style percussion. Or, better yet, why not enhance the performance by adding an SATB chorus thereby sharing the stage with your school's most advanced choral ensemble? (5:00) / Orchestre A Cordes

Subtitled Fatto per la notte di Natale, or 'made for the night of Christmas,' Corelli's Christmas Concerto stands as one of the finest concerti grossi of the Baroque era.

This beautiful folk melody will capture the hearts of students and audiences. Originally scored for large orchestra, this string arrangement captures the essential qualities often heard in the English style of chamber music for strings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Holst's melody, with its simple pentatonic folksong theme, receives the kind of mystical transformation we often associate with British composers' treatments of their indigenous wellspring-the folksong. All sections share in the melodic themes while passages for a quartet of soloists add textural interest. (4:15) / Orchestre A Cordes
