FROM THE RESPONSORY DOMINE AD ADJUVANDUM ME FESTINA. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO / SIEVING ROBERT (Arr.). Robert Sieving\'s arrangement of Allegro for Double String Orchestra by Antonio Vivaldi, RV593, originally a motet featuring the vocal setting of Psalm 69 for soprano, 2 oboes, 2 SATB choirs, and double string orchestra, provides the opportunity for two orchestras to perform in opposition and have a musical conversation through fugal writing. Sieving has maintained Vivaldi\'s writing and sound, as the two orchestras battle it out to be the reigning orchestra. Each orchestra and section have interesting parts, with string crossings, minimal shifting, stylistic Baroque bow use, and call and response sections or echo sections. Invite a neighboring orchestra to perform this wonderful double string piece or divide your orchestra in two groups. Such a wonderful addition to our Vivaldi repertoire by Robert Sieving at Level 3. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre

A wonderful two-piano arrangement by Richard Simm. Each new two-piano arrangement has become very popular with two-piano teams, teachers and performers around the world. The four-movement work follows the original orchestral work closely, giving each pianist important lines.

Full Orch. Par TROTTA MICHAEL JOHN. A wonderfully expressive a cappella setting of the traditional Christmas text. Carefully prepared dissonances and use of close harmonies thoughtfully paint the text as a sense of awe and wonder permeate the setting. The work concludes with the opening material sung on 'Alleluia ' with a soaring soprano descant. May be performed in English or Latin. / Date parution : 2021-11-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. One of Haydn's most famous symphonic movements, this selection will give your students a chance to develop a refined, 'Classic' style of playing. It seems like Haydn included everything in this movement---a delicately beautiful main theme, wild, minor-keyed outbursts, military percussion, and a solo trumpet fanfare. No wonder the London audiences went crazy over it! Arranged with the young orchestra in mind, all string parts are in first position. A great introduction to a too-often neglected style. / Ensemble Music, Miscellaneous, Scores / Répertoire / Orchestre
