Mendelssohns wedding march is a ubiquitous piece for any seasoned
  wedding musician. A quick search online reveals that there are more than a
  few dozen arrangements of this work for string quartet alone! So why create
  another one? Many of the arrangements currently in circulation are of
  extremely poor quality, both from a musical and publishing standpoint. Too
  often they give little regard to what Mendelssohn actually wrote and are
  rendered as if the arranger was recalling the music by ear. My new arrangement
  was created with a fresh examination of the original orchestral score. Here
  are some key highlights:
    
    1.	It preserves the structural integrity of the music (i.e. same exact
  number of bars as the original)
    
    2.	Maintains a balance between the original context and rewriting the music
  idiomatically for string quartet.
    
    3.	Aims to be of high artistically yet playable by most string players
  above an intermediate level (There are double stops and a few triple stops
  but nothing unmanageable).
    
    4.	No unnecessary articulations, bowings or fingerings have been added. The
  basic spirit of the music is left untouched and skilled musicians can make
  their own interpretive decisions with fresh insight into the music.
    
    5.	A clean, high quality engraving with bar numbers added.
    
    An abridged arrangement of the first 29 bars of march is also available so
  dont use a cheap, free arrangement online of this important work. If you are
  a serious musician, be sure to have this arrangement of the wedding march
  always handy in your library!

Throughout history, popular tunes have been adapted to suit the changing
  tastes and styles of the times. The US national anthem is no different.

  so commonly hear. This newly orchestrated arrangement of the Star Spangled
  Banner for classical chamber orchestra is in the period style of the late
  18th century and based on the first printed edition of the anthem in 1814.

The famous drinking chorus from Verdi's celebrated opera La Traviata is
  now available for string quartet. This arrangement is suitable for weddings,
  parties, and even encores. NOTE: There is one less bar (measure) between mm.
  98 and 99 in this arrangement than is normally heard. The extra bar was

Boris Godunov Suite No. 1 for Chamber Orchestra

The Isreali national anthem orchestrated in the style of late Romanticism.

Hatikvah (Israeli National Anthem) for Orchestra

Rossini's aria from La Cenerentola "Non piu mesta" has been a popular theme since it was first composed and is one of his most recognized tunes. Many paraphrases and variations were written on it in the 19th century for various instruments including one for violin and orchestra by Paganini. One set of variations for flute and piano is attributed to a young Chopin, who is said to have composed it for his father. For this arrangement, the variations have been expanded with an introduction and coda from the opera. A newly written orchestral accompaniment in the style of Chopin and Rossini was made along with interludes between the variations to allow the soloist to rest. The result is a new 10 minute showpiece for flute and orchestra in the same vein as Chopin's Variations on "La ci da rem la mano" and Rossini's variations for clarinet and orchestra. The flute part from the variations has not been altered so it is hoped that this new compilation will be a welcome addition to the solo flute repertoire.

  trombones, and tuba. Additional parts for timpani, snare drum and harp are
  included as ad lib. should they be available. A complete, unabridged

Originally conceived as a work titled "Nocturno" for an 11-piece Harmonie in
  1824, Mendelssohn revised the work for a full 24-piece wind ensemble in 1838.
  In a letter to his publisher Simrock, Mendelssohn mentions a version for
  strings but nothing more is known about whether or not Mendelssohn ever made
  that version. This transcription for full orchestra by Yoon Jae Lee made in
  2016 now makes this exuberant overture accessible to chamber and symphony
  orchestras worldwide. The trombone parts are ad lib.   Instrumentation: 2. 2. 2. 2 - 2. 2. (3). 0 - tp - str  Performance:
