String orchestra, with optional organ - Digital Download SKU: OX.9780193201897 'And Wept Bitterly'. Composed by Mack Wilberg. Score. 53 pages. Oxford University Press Digital #9780193201897. Published by Oxford University Press Digital (OX.9780193201897). ISBN 9780193201897.For string orchestra, with optional organ. This moving piece for string orchestra is full of pathos and emotion. Stylistically evocative of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and the distinctive musical language of Arvo P�¤rt, Lament is based around a two-bar arching ostinato, artfully developing musical fragments and enriching the texture to reach a powerful central climax. This is a welcome addition to the string orchestra repertory. This piece was recorded on the 2019 Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra CD Tree of Life under the title 'And Wept Bitterly (Lament on an Ostinato for String Orchestra)'. This complete set of parts includes: 4 x vln I, 4 x vln II, 3 x vla, 2 x vc, and 1 x db.

String Orchestra - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.987732 Composed by Dana Taylor. Baroque,Contemporary. Score and parts. 13 pages. Dana Taylor Music #27293. Published by Dana Taylor Music (A0.987732). A passacaglia is ... a musical form that is usually of a serious character and is often, but not always, based on a bass-ostinato and written in triple meter. from Wikipedia. THIS passacaglia is a slow theme and variations, in a minor mode, with a bass ostinato. The only difficult part is dealing with the counterpoint, but it is worth the effort, it will impress your audience, and is fun to play. I HAVE 3 versions; this one is for string orchestra version I HAVE uploaded a PDF with the individual string parts. I ALSO,have a version for piano, viola and double bass/cello, with parts, AND a mambo version for Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, String Bass and 4-part latin percussion., with parts. YOU could make a whole concert out this one piece!

They will be scremin Yeah, and you will book five more weddings right then and there.A little known fact is that Usher origionally scored this piece for a consort of viola de gamba, before reconceiving it as a hip hop song, where it found wider appeal. It is that original source material which inspired this work for modern string orchestra. On a one-to-ten, this arrangement is a certified twenty.

RēsFacta Editions #1016711. Published by RēsFacta Editions (A0.1436597). American composer, Fidelis Zitterbart’s Suite Fantastique in E Minor: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, inspired by Washington Irving's short story, was originally composed for a chamber ensemble of two violins, viola, flute, and piano. The final movement of the work, The Headless Rider, depicts the spectral figure who roams the night on horseback, searching for something lost and seeking revenge. The music conveys a sense of urgency and intensity, as if the Headless Rider is on a relentless quest through the darkness. This arrangement for string orchestra features a driving ostinato figure by the violas, making it an ideal selection for an orchestra with a strong viola section for a Halloween-themed concert.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.808428 Composed by Adolphe-Charles Adam. Arranged by Mark W. Huxhold. Christmas,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 3 pages. Mark Wayne Music, LLC #3686331. Published by Mark Wayne Music, LLC (A0.808428). 2018 Holiday Contest Entry This beautiful arrangement is guided by a less is more philosophy; the violins perform in unison until the final 7 measures and the optional ostinato is omitted to allow for clarity. Faithful to the original vocal/organ score, Adam’s original markings have been retained with bowings added and dashed slurs on dotted rhythms by the editor. In F major, the String Orchestra’s tessitura is optimized without any octave transpositions necessary in the double bass, retaining the wide intervals that add so much to the richness of the harmonies.

String Orchestra - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.919914 Composed by Mykola Leontovych. Arranged by William E. Moats. Christmas. 15 pages. William E. Moats #4370180. Published by William E. Moats (A0.919914). This arrangement for Young String Orchestra of the traditional Bell Carol is written in the key of D minor. It is all bowed and is intended to move along at a pace of 112 beats per minute and runs about two minutes. All parts have some notes that should be played détaché . The violins have the eighth note runs in the bridge section each time, requiring B naturals and C sharps. Although the carol was composed by Mykola Leontovych in the early 1900's, it is based on a four note ostinato taken from ancient Ukranian folk sources. The piano part is not necessary for performance but can be used to add rhythmic, melodic and harmonic reinforcement. The .pdf parts file contains: Score, 1st Violin, 2nd Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, & Piano.

This is an exciting work for young string orchestra at the medium-easy level. The dramatic opening section uses strong rhythms in a modal context. The contrasting middle section features strong melodies in the low strings and violins. The piece ends with a dramatic restatement of the initial theme against a driving ostinato in the cellos and double basses.This work is a great closer for a concert and also as a contest piece!

Mark Wayne Music, LLC #3586629. Published by Mark Wayne Music, LLC (A0.808266). Ave Maria is one of Schubert’s most beloved melodies, often heard at various functions, both sacred and secular. The work is lightly edited to best represent the vocal articulation in the first violin and a slurring suggestion in the second violin and viola ostinato. This is a great addition to your string quartet folio. Double bass can also be added to the cello part (playing as written) for a string quintet or string orchestra.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998356 Composed by Aaron Fonzi. Children,Contemporary,Rock,Standards. Score and parts. 27 pages. Aaron Fonzi #3367893. Published by Aaron Fonzi (A0.998356). This piece tells the epic story of Hades' abduction of his niece, Persephone. According to the legend, Hades came up through a crack in the ground and snatched the girl while she was playing. In the Underworld, he tried to seduce her in a variety of ways, but to no avail. Finally, Hades is said to have tricked her into staying by offering her a tempting pomegranate. As Persephone ate 6 seeds, she was to stay in the Underworld for six months each year. It is said that while Persphone is in the Underworld, the plants wither and die, and when she comes back to the surface she brings rebirth to growing things. This piece begins with playful pizzicato lines that build upon each other. These represent Persphone at play, but forebodes the dark forces that are encircling her. When the orchestra goes to arco, Persphone is being dragged into the Underworld. A mournful violin solo signifies her arrival, but this mournful theme is quickly replace by the devious seductions of Hades in the form of a humorous waltz. Finally, Hades offers the pomegranate to Persephone and she eats 6 seeds (represented by the six beats of the B major chord in measures 76 and 77). The main theme then takes over once again, modulating to F# minor to represent Hades' victory. With relentless energy, catchy ostinati and opportunities to work on shifting, pizzicato and arco throughout, this piece will not dissapoint for audiences and students alike. A FEW NOTES: 1. I'd recommend rehearsing the rhythms of recurring ostinati together- first pizzicato then arco. You may get creative and incorporate scales with these rhythms. However you do it, it'll be important that each ostinato is played with precision and confidence. 2. Have fun with the waltz section! It's meant to portray the strange, whimsical nature of Hades' attempts to woo Persephone, so the awkwardness in delivery is encouraged! 3. All ritardandos should be exaggerated for the sake of drama. 4. Encourage your drumset player to explore different ways of accompanying the orchestra- the drumset part is a blueprint, not definitive instructions. 5. Be sure to practice shifting into 2nd position for the modulation. I hope you and your students have a great time putting this epic piece together! I had a ton of fun writing it! ~Aaron Fonzi

3 violins and basso continuo or string orchestra - intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q1132 Composed by Johann Pachelbel. This edition: score. Concertino. Downloadable, Score. Duration 3 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q1132. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q1132). Key: D major.With this work, Pachelbel, who was born in Nuremberg, created one of the most popular orchestral pieces of the baroque period. In the canon two of the strictest contrapuntal forms are combined: The three violin parts form an extensive canon with entries of two bars distance. To this, a ground bass (basso ostinato) has been added repeating its two-bar tone formula 28 times. The technical mastery of the piece can be ad-mired just as much as its effect lies in the melodic and sensuous power of its string tones. The modest technical demands on the musicians are diametrically opposed to the compositional level: they do not go beyond the third position.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.808424 Composed by Adolphe-Charles Adam. Arranged by Mark W. Huxhold. Christmas,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 8 pages. Mark Wayne Music, LLC #3686329. Published by Mark Wayne Music, LLC (A0.808424). 2018 Holiday Contest Entry This beautiful arrangement is guided by a less is more philosophy; the violins perform in unison until the final 7 measures and the optional ostinato is omitted to allow for clarity. Faithful to the original vocal/organ score, Adam’s original markings have been retained with bowings added and dashed slurs on dotted rhythms by the editor. In F major, the String Orchestra’s tessitura is optimized without any octave transpositions necessary in the double bass, retaining the wide intervals that add so much to the richness of the harmonies.

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.837288 Arranged by Garth M. Williams (Socan). Christian,Christmas,Sacred,Spiritual,Standards. Score and parts. 20 pages. Garth M. Williams (Socan) #3638695. Published by Garth M. Williams (Socan) (A0.837288). The First Nowell for string orchestra has been written for an advanced intermediate or good adult amateur orchestra. The carol opens in the Key of G Major and presents a wonderful ostinato in the upper strings accompanied by the tune and harmonization of the carol by the lower strings. It finally concludes after modulation, in the key of C Major. The piece does present some divisi string parts in certain sections, and some third position passages for the First Violins as well. I recommend this arrangement to all conductors. Please have a listen.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.918938 By Jubal's Lyre Music. By Hans Leo Hassler. Arranged by Martin Dicke. 21st Century,Christian,Lent,Religious,Sacred. Score and Parts. 38 pages. Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers #6826375. Published by Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers (A0.918938). This partita for String Ensemble is based on the tune HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN by Renaissance composer Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), which is sung to the Lenten hymn O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. Chorale settings frame this six-movement work while the inner movements employ doleful ostinatos, a quasi-canon, and a bicinium that turns into a trio at the cadences. With anguished and unconventional harmonies, the work begins fortissimo on a second inversion of an F major seventh chord and ends pianissimo eight minutes later on an A major chord. Originally composed for organ, this partita works well for strings and in the context of worship is particularly suited for Lent, Holy Week, or communion services. A downloadable performance audio mp3 is available as is a compatible edition for Woodwind Quintet. An edition for String Quartet is also available. For more music and information, visitÂ
