With this arrangement, my goal is to maintain the integrity of the original work, while making it accessible to the younger orchestra. An important aspect of the successful performance of this piece is maintaining an energetic tempo. The repeated eighth notes in the accompaniment should be played cleanly and crisply to maintain momentum. There are many places where abrupt changes in dynamics occur. For example, m. 1 begins with a string unison forte, which suddenly drops to piano at m. 11. Accents, staccatos, and other articulations should be carefully observed. To be effective, crescendos should begin at a reasonable volume, so they have somewhere to go dynamically. I hope you and the orchestra enjoy this arrangement.With this arrangement, my goal is to maintain the integrity of the original work, while making it accessible to the younger orchestra.

A salute to the famous sailboat race, this rollicking piece in A minor introduces compound time with an opening (and closing) section in 12/8. The fast flowing music of the opening, vividly suggestive of a ship slicing through the waves, returns in a higher key (B minor) after a warmly scored, sweepingly melodic middle section. This is a piece whose sophistication is an excellent showcase for a more advanced performing group.Written in 12/8 in A minor, America’s Cup evokes the intensity and momentum of a wild sea with driving triplets, sweeping melodies, and accented downbeats. The A-material from the opening measure is played aggressively but lightly enough to keep the feeling of forward motion. Strong accents and rhythmically precise playing in the cello and bass provide solid support for the fast moving violin and viola passages. Measure 67 begins the slow, pastoral setting of the B-material. A gentle, lyrical violin motive in A major grows into a high, sweeping melody over sustained harmonies. This provides a brief repose before returning to the fastoriginal tempo and minor key as the recapitulation begins at m. 90. A modulation to B minor (m. 94) lifts the energy of the piece and gives young players the challenge of playing the running lines in another key. Measure 118 builds to the end, keeping the intensity a soft dynamic and growing into the final syncopated tutti unison figure in mm. 122–123.

Lower strings be sure to maintain a steady pulse and dont rush the walking figure at the opening. When the melody is transferred to the lower strings (pick-up to m. 10 and m. 13), play with a full sound. Be careful of the balance and allow the soloist to dominate in mm. 121. If the soloist is comfortable using third position, play mm. 119 and the first half of m. 20 one octave higher. All parts should be in a solid marcato style in the fast section (m. 22 to the end). In m.50, Violin I should bring out the Hava Nagila quote equal to the volume of the rest of the orchestra. Be sure to observe all the soft dynamics to add interest to the performance.

With this lively suite, the Hungarian music -teacher and pupil of Kodaly created a very in-s-tructive piece. Since all parts have independ-ent melodic tasks and are very often opposed to each other one by one or in pairs, the suite is particularly suitable for the work with the individual string parts and for the training of the ensemble playing.

Tchaikovsky spent the summer and autumn of 1880 at his sisterÂs country estate in KamÂianka, Ukraine, where he sought peace and relaxation. But after a short time the desire to work took hold of him again. âI'm sketching a symphony or string quintet just now; I don't know where it's going yet,â he wrote to his friend and patroness Nadezhda von Meck. In the end it turned out to be a Serenade for String Orchestra, which numbers among his most beautiful inspirations and is today a central work in the genre. The four movements captivate with their diverse moods â be it the Mozartian first movement âin the form of a sonatinaâ, the elegant Waltz, the melancholy âElegiaâ or the rousing Finale. For this new source-critical edition it was possible to consult the autograph in Moscow as well as the early printed editions into which Tchaikovsky sometimes entered a number of minor revisions. Clear the stage for the new reference edition of this indispensable work of the string-orchestra repertoire!

Expressive playing, some simple counterpoint, and a touch of pizzicato characterize this contemporary sounding but accessible piece in two contrasting sections, slow and lively. Duration: 3'15.The definition of Air is a tune or melody, but often it is used to describe a piece that is lyrical in nature, as in the first section of this piece. The next section of the piece is called Caprice, which is the French word for capriccio. The term capriccio has been used as the title for a variety of different types of works throughout music history. It is used here in its literal definition which describes the fanciful, capricious nature of the second section of the piece.As part of the development of the piece, the minor material from the Air is used as bridge material in the Caprice section. The Air and Caprice should be very contrasting in style. Play the Air very sustained and chorale-like and the Caprice, light with forward motion. The tempo of the Caprice should not be too fast; however, the tempo can be adjusted down to accommodate the ability level of your ensemble. Bowings have not been over-marked, and no slurs are used; feel free to alter it if necessary.It has been my pleasure to have had the opportunity to write this piece. I hope that you and your students find it useful for your program.

Celebrate Haydn's 200th anniversary with this outstanding symphony! This exciting and energetic work is a rare example of Haydn's use of the minor tonality in symphonic writing, which is aptly subtitled Trauer, translated Mourning. The string parts are very close to the original with changes made only to accommodate the important lines of the original oboe and horn parts. Students will thoroughly enjoy the contrapuntal style allowing simultaneous independent melodies. Some shifting is required through third position for violins and fourth position for cellos and basses. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

The discovery of a lost source to AntonÃn Dvorák's â??Nocturneâ? in B major op. 40 provides new insights into the genesis of the composition and the composer's intended final form of this lyrical little piece for string orchestra.The musical material of what was later to be named â??Nocturneâ? was initially elaborated in the String Quartet in E minor; subsequently it was used in the original version of the String Quintet in G major as its second movement. However Dvorák then extracted it again, expanding and editing it afresh. The final result was the â??Nocturneâ? for string orchestra (two violins, viola, violoncello, double bass). The first edition was published by Bote and Bock in 1883.The authorized second copy of the work that had served as a template for the first printing was discovered by the editor Jonáš Hájek in a privately owned collection. This enabled him to resolve the several ambiguities caused by the existence of multiple versions and to unveil the authentic â??Nocturneâ?.

This is a striking and original piece that builds interest and momentum using a four note cello and bass ostinato. Arco and pizzicato contrasts of texture and off-beat accents and rhythms sustain interest in this unusual selection, which puts minimal musical resources to maximum use.

This lively march comes to us from one of Holst's most popular works, the First Suite in E flat for Military Band written in 1909. Two contrasting themes-a crisp, marcato in D and a lyrical, legato theme in G-thrill listeners. The powerful finale of the march, back in D, uses both melodies layered on top of one another. The lyrical section features the cellos and violas and all parts are interesting.

In setting Richard Dehmel's poem âVerklärte Nachtâ (Transfigured Night) in his op. 4, the young Arnold Schönberg pursued the intention, as he himself said, of âattempting those new forms in chamber music which have been created in orchestral music based on a poetic ideaâ. Composed in September 1899 in a few weeks whilst he was on holiday, the Sextet incorporates the ideas of the symphonic poem in its programmatic character and its one-movement form, and also displays late Romantic traits in its opulent tone. Already at its premiere in 1902 in Vienna, the special quality of the work was recognised, characterised by âpeculiar sound combinations and groundbreaking figuresâ, a work which was to become a true modern classic in the 20th century. For this Urtext edition, both the autograph score and the 1905 first edition have been consulted, as well as Schönberg's personal copies which are preserved in Vienna and contain numerous markings by the composer.

Rikudim (Hebrew for “Dancesâ€) is a four-part dance suite based on Jewish music. By using eastern intervals and irregular time changes, the composer succeeds in creating a slightly melancholy but specifically Jewish flavoured piece. Rikudim, das hebräische Wort für tanzen“, ist der Titel dieser vierteiligen Suite für Streichorchester von Jan Van der Roost. Durch den Gebrauch von unregelmäßigen Taktarten ist es dem Komponisten gelungen, in dieser Musik einerseits einen Hauch Melancholie, andererseits spezifisch jüdische Elemente miteinander zu verschmelzen. Rikudim (de l’hébreu rikud, “danseâ€) est une suite de quatre danses originales inspirées de la musique traditionnelle juive. L’utilisation d’une structure tonale orientale, l’introduction de mesures irrégulières et la richesse sonore de l’orchestration apportent cette œuvre une teinte mélancolique mais surtout une grande authenticité. Les thèmes très inspirés sont clairement différenciés. L’harmonisation quelquefois surprenante sans jamais être dénaturée confère ces quatre danses originales juives une grande richesse d’expression.
