for Strings Score and Parts. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Sinfonia No. 15 by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally for piano solo, is now available for string orchestras because of Shirl Jae Atwell\'s musical arrangement. Sinfonia No. 15 arranged in the original key of B minor, with an altered time signature from 9/16 to 9/8, is much more friendly for student musicians. Bach\'s Sinfonia No. 15, arranged by Atwell, is a great addition to string orchestra programs through dance-like eighth notes and flashy sixteenth-note arpeggiated sections creating an exciting Baroque experience. Teachers will love exploring the key of B minor, arpeggios galore for all instruments, bow distribution with 1/16ths as well as sustained notes, and the overall Baroque style found in this string orchestra arrangement by Atwell. Sinfonia No. 15 treats orchestras and audiences to the allure of the Baroque Era. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

La chute de la Leafe est basée sur une pièce pour virginal de la collection Fitzwilliam et se caractérise par une échelle descendante descriptive qui imite les feuilles en automne. La pièce a en outre résonance pour Maxwell Davies, qui vit dans les Orcades où il y a très peu d'arbres ainsi ses chances de faire l'expérience de cette période de l'année sont confinés aux visites ailleurs dans le pays ou son imagination. / Orchestre A Cordes

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.

with Optional Rock Rhythm Section. Par WOOD MARK. This multi-level piece includes a full set of parts for grade 2 as well as a full set for grade 4 ensembles. Mix and match the parts as you need---perfect for mixed-ability ensembles! The traditional bolero is a moderately slow dance in triple meter which originated in late 18th century Spain. Since then it has spread to other countries and become transformed in the process. The Cuban bolero became a bit faster in tempo and duple in meter. In the U.S. it became a staple of competitive ballroom dancing, even faster and in 4/4 time. Maurice Ravel's Boléro for orchestra harkens back to the slower Spanish dance in three. Wood's Bolero by Mark Wood, on the other hand, focuses on the American version but maintains elements of the dance's origins and first iterations. For string orchestra with optional rock rhythm section parts. (4:30) / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

This beautiful folk melody will capture the hearts of students and audiences. Originally scored for large orchestra, this string arrangement captures the essential qualities often heard in the English style of chamber music for strings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Holst's melody, with its simple pentatonic folksong theme, receives the kind of mystical transformation we often associate with British composers' treatments of their indigenous wellspring-the folksong. All sections share in the melodic themes while passages for a quartet of soloists add textural interest. (4:15) / Orchestre A Cordes

Ever ask your intermediate students to sing their parts? This one's for you! This American fiddling song is arranged by Renata Bratt so that every section gets a chance to sing the song as well as play the tune with idiomatic fiddle breaks based on the tune. Sounds great without the singing as well! The fast driving rhythmic power of offbeat accents in cut time is emphasized in this accessible D major arrangement. This tune calls for fast left hand fingers and some quick bow-crossings, though it stays in the first position. Great fun! (1:40) / Orchestre A Cordes

In the style of medieval dance, this authentic setting transports all to the time of Henry VIII. Though his court was infamous as well as lavish, music and dance were a central part of courtly life.

This work sensitively conveys the rising sun as it first greets America each morning on Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park. Written by Andrew H. Dabczynski in celebration of that park's centennial, this enchanting piece provides an opportunity for young string players to musically express the magic of dawn on the mountain, of light sparkling on the ocean, of swelling seas as a squall approaches, and of the returning calm as the light recedes. 'Acadia First Light' will transport players and audiences alike to Acadia, that treasured national gem. (3:30) / Orchestre A Cordes
