George Gershwin/arr. Whitney

Medium-Advanced
Don't miss this one! Gershwin's original suite,
some 17 minutes in length, is often too cumbersome to program. This
version, edited and condensed down to 7 minutes, is your solution! Staying
true to the original, it's a wonderful display of Gershwin's rich and evocative
orchestral writing. Recommended for mature school orchestras and community
orchestras!

Ottorino Respighi/arr. Brubaker

Medium Easy
The noble elegance and beauty of Respighi's marvelous work shines in this
arrangement of the Balletto Movement from Suite No. 1. The
feel of early music carries through in an arrangement that works equally
well for strings alone or with the addition of winds. A great introduction
to Respighi!
This energetic arrangement of the second movement of Mahler's first symphony, which he called an Austrian Peasant dance, has all the simplicity of a folk dance, and all the beauty and power of Mahler.

A mainstay of Italian opera, The
Barber of Seville contains many classic themes that are featured in
the overture to create a wonderful concert showpiece! The beguiling
melody in the upper strings and woodwinds will be familiar to all, and
the "breakneck" finish is a suitable close to any concert. Carefully
edited from the original, this work is one we highly recommend over any
of the available reprint versions.
