String Orchestra with rehearsal Piano-This string orchestra arrangement by Lauren Keiser of the second movement ?allegretto? from Franck's Symphony in d minor. It is an ideal study in pizzicato for beginning to intermediate ensembles.

Now available for string ensemble this movement from Beethoven's fifth symphony has become the emblem of classical music and continues to be one of the most performed works in orchestral literature. The iconic opening motive isthe essence of the entire symphony and is ingeniously developed in this opening movement. Jamin Hoffman's version is carefully crafted for strings giving student players a great opportunity to perform this famous masterwork.

This Simple Symphony is entirely based on material from works which the composer wrote between the ages of nine and twelve. (The actual sources are given in footnotes to each movement.) Although the development of these themes is in many places quite new, there are large stretches of the work which are taken bodily from the early pieces - save for the re-scoring for strings. It is suitable for string quartets or string orchestras, being scored for Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello and Double Bass.

Rich musically and approachable technically your orchestra will feel like professional symphony performers with this sampler of tunes from Dvorák?s most famous symphony. Representing three of the four movements this masterful arrangement makes full use of all the sonorities available to the orchestra. Simply outstanding!

from Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5-This superb arrangement features the third movement of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5 (Reformation). Arguably one of the most memorable melodies Mendelssohn ever wrote this version for strings retains all the beauty and finesse of the original. An ideal opportunity to teach phrasing and develop the slow bow control necessary for languid singing passages. This is fantastic music!
