In completion of the first part (Hortus Musicus 50 now out of print) this second part to the 'Music To The Midsummer Night's Dream' contains all the remaining four-part instrumental pieces from Henry Purcell's opera 'The Fairy Queen' (1692). Similar to the pieces in the first part the composer wrote them for performance by Strings but they can also be played by Wind Instruments only (in particular wood-wind) or with string and wind instruments mixed and also with one or several instruments to a part. The pieces were put in such an order that they again present a small self-contained suite.The titles to the several numbers which arepartly mentioned more exactly in this book indicate their place in the above named opera by Purcell. They elucidate at the same time the character of the various pieces. Thus No.1 Air (Second Music) is originally a (second) introductory piece of music for the opera which still precedes the actual Overture. No.2 Jig No.5 Air and No.8 Air are instrumental postludes to the first fourth and second acts of the opera respectively whereas No.4 'Dance for the Followers of Night' No.6 'Dance for the Green Men' and No.7 'Monkeys' Dance' present a motley picture of the operatic construction which provided a great number of allegoric persons and figures. From a purely musical point of view this second part too of the 'Music To The Midsummer Night's Dream' contains gems of old instrumental music. May this present book help to gain new friends for the noble art of the great Old-English composer.

Beethoven's Egmont Overture is one of the most famous pieces in the orchestral repertoire. Until now there has not been a string version that captures the full effect of the original. Since many directors have expressed the need for good literature for larger string programs Robert McCashin is pleased to offer this shorter arrangement which effectively utilizes the full string orchestra. Excellent for exposing your students to a classic without having to recruit wind players.

B-Dur für drei Violinen und b. c.-Gottfried Finger (c 1656 - 1730).Many sonatas trio sonatas and chamber compositions for Wind and String Instruments are part of the compositional legacy of Gottfried Finger. Nowadays works for Wind Instruments especially for Alto Recorder are being published occasionally while works for Violin and Viola Da Gamba have escaped the attention of the researchers. One of the most remarkable composition from among them is the Sonata In B Flat Major for three Violins and Continuo whose period copy present in the library of Uppsala University served as a source for this edition. The piece is interesting especially for its unusalstructure as it is composed as a dialogue between the three concert Violins that are in contrast to the broadly set tutti. In solo parts the composer provides equal space for self-presentation for all three Violins. The edition was prepared by Miloslav Klement.

Tchaikovsky's famous Marche Slav exemplifies the spirit of 19th century nationalism as it was growing in Europe. This exceptional arrangement set in A minor (a more comfortable key than the original B-flat minor) has all the elements of the original and lets your orchestra shine without the need of winds and percussion. Brilliant orchestration and arranging meets the work of a master composer!

Par . A sparkling gem for a first concert or a mixed-instrument group lesson, this piece will be fun to play and features an exciting ending. Combining two commonly taught folk songs, 'Lightly Row' and 'Song of the Wind,' this delightful medley, Two German Folk Songs by Bob Phillips, uses only the D string and the A string within the D major scale. Parts lie well on every instrument. The second violin and viola parts are doubled. Bass and cello are often in unison. Throughout the piece, all sections are often in rhythmic unison. This piece provides the perfect setting to reinforce detaché, staccato, and pizzicato. This one will go together well! / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes
