string explorer | Grade 1–2½<br />

Correlated with the units of the String Explorer method, these pieces<br />

provide a variety of teaching opportunities to implement and<br />

fortify the skills learned by young string players. Each composition<br />

and arrangement is suitable for a young orchestra’s first concert<br />

performances, with parts that are clearly bowed and fingered to make<br />

teaching simple and enjoyable. Selections include a Violin III (Viola,<br />

treble clef) part as well as optional piano accompaniment.<br />

strictly strings | Grade 1–2<br />

The Strictly Strings Orchestra Series provides stimulating arrangements<br />

for first- and second-year string players that reinforce newly learned<br />

notes, bowings, key signatures, rhythmic patterns, and musical terms<br />

and symbols. The selections in this series cover a variety of musical<br />

styles and periods. All arrangements correlate with Strictly Strings,<br />

our popular string method, but may also be used in conjunction with<br />

other instructional methods. Each arrangement includes an optional<br />

piano accompaniment and a Violin III (Viola, treble clef) part.<br />

string orchestrA | Grade 1–4<br />

The grand tradition of Highland/Etling continues in this exciting<br />

series of original compositions and arrangements for string orchestra.<br />

Written by many of the leading composers of school orchestra music,<br />

each selection is carefully graded and edited to provide the maximum<br />

educational and musical benefit to your students. Each work is<br />

chosen for its musicality, uniqueness and appropriateness to the<br />

developmental level of students. From well-crafted arrangements of<br />

symphonic masterworks to exciting original compositions, this series<br />

provides a wealth of musical materials for the school orchestra.<br />

string AlternAtives | Grade 1–3½<br />

The String Alternatives Series blazes new pathways in string<br />

performance music by providing authentic-sounding compositions<br />

and arrangements of the very best repertoire in fiddling, jazz,<br />

mariachi, Latin, rock and world music. Each piece in the series presents<br />

a truly unique and broad learning experience by integrating facets of<br />

our eclectic American cultural heritage. Elements such as slides and<br />

ornaments are notated for a more stylistically correct performance.<br />

When appropriate, optional percussion, piano, and other rhythm<br />

instruments are included for greater authenticity. Designed to be<br />

played by string students who are experienced or new to alternative<br />

styles, this series will motivate students at all levels.<br />

First philhArmonic | Grade 1–2<br />

Specially designed with the young musician in mind, the First<br />

Philharmonic Series has everything to make your students’ first full<br />

orchestra experience an enjoyable and successful one. Easy-to-read<br />

parts are well bowed and fingered with all measures numbered,<br />

keeping within practical ranges for all instruments (string parts in first<br />

position, with occasional optional upper octaves for more advanced<br />

players). With doublings carefully considered for the orchestra with<br />

less-than-full instrumentation, these orchestrations sound like the<br />

original by retaining the integrity of the composer’s original intent.<br />

Full orchestrA | Grade 3–4<br />

This series provides challenging, yet very playable arrangements for<br />

the full orchestra. A variety of musical styles is represented, with an<br />

emphasis on giving students the opportunity to experience first-hand<br />

the wonders of the symphony orchestra and its literature. Carefully<br />

arranged for today’s orchestras, the Highland/Etling Full Orchestra<br />

Series provides orchestra directors with superb concert selections to<br />

help them meet their educational and musical goals.<br />

This African-American spiritual expresses<br />

the difficulty of the lives of those who<br />

mercurius, Grade 3½<br />

by Shirl Jae Atwell<br />

(00-31602) F $47.00<br />

“Mercurius” is a medieval Latin noun used<br />

to describe messengers, of which the<br />

Roman god Mercury is most famous. The<br />

forward motion of Mercurius is a constant<br />

in the bass part while the melody floats<br />

above, first in octaves, then as a duet, in a<br />

smooth flowing manner. The harmony is<br />

realized in conjunction with the rhythmic<br />

pattern of the bass to convey the purpose<br />

of this “bearer of news.” (3:15)<br />

symphony no. 44 “trAuer”<br />

(Fourth Movement), Grade 4<br />

by Franz Joseph Haydn, arr. Todd Parrish<br />

(00-31595) F $55.00<br />

Celebrate the 200 th anniversary of Haydn’s<br />

death with this outstanding symphony!<br />

This exciting and energetic work is a rare<br />

example of Haydn’s use of the minor<br />

tonality in symphonic writing, which<br />

is aptly subtitled “Trauer,” translated<br />

“Mourning.” The string parts are very<br />

close to the original with changes made<br />

only to accommodate the important<br />

lines of the original oboe and horn parts.<br />

Students will thoroughly enjoy the<br />

contrapuntal style allowing simultaneous<br />

independent melodies. Some shifting is<br />

required through third position for violins<br />

and fourth position for cellos and basses.<br />

lesson may be used individually or as part of the complete curriculum. The<br />
