Par GLAZOUNOV ALEXANDER / DABCZYNSKI ANDREW (Arr.). Both the bleak Russian midwinter landscape and the joyful celebration of a fall harvest festival are conveyed in this string arrangement by Andrew H. Dabczynski, of Autumn and Winter from Alexander Glazunov's ballet The Seasons. The expressive contrasts in this motivating set will make it a favorite of all. Optional parts for more advanced students, as well as supplementary percussion and piano parts make it an excellent concert choice for intermediate or even upper-level orchestras.

Snowy hilltops, timeless family traditions, and the warmth of a hearth---the atmosphere of a Smoky Mountain Christmas is captured in this arrangement of three traditional Appalachian carols arranged by Andrew Dabcyznski. The simple modal melodies of 'Star of the East' and 'Babe of Bethlehem' are passed throughout the orchestra, before concluding with the stirring spiritual 'Rise Up Shepherd and Follow.' The keys, meters, and bowings are all playable by second-year string students, but intermediate and advanced students also will find this to be a satisfying holiday concert piece.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. In 2001 Bärenreiter issued a newly engraved keyboard reduction and solo parts to this concerto based on the acclaimed New Bach Edition. The present expanded publication goes a step further in that it offers not only the two solo violin parts as presented in the New Bach Edition, but also two additional parts with fingerings and bowings by the baroque specialist Andrew Manze. Manze also offers players enlightened comments (English/German) on historical performance practices dealing with how the instrument was held, fingerings, bowing, shifting, the use of open strings and much much more./ Répertoire / 2 Violons, Instruments à Cordes et Basse Continue
