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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

This African-American spiritual expresses<br />
the difficulty of the lives of those who<br />

Bay, Washington with this two-movement<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 />

On a tour of America in 1833 and<br />

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