This arrangement includes optional parts for your concert band members as well (not playable by concert band alone) to give you added performance flexibility and possibly combine your two groups.

A Vivaldi School Year for string orchestra (Grade 1.5) arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle
This arrangement is rich with pedagogical and musical opportunity! Written by a 16-year-old Mozart, it is in Rondo form with distinct key centers to establish hand patterns and excellent intonation. It uses sudden dynamic changes for dramatic effect, reinforces off-the-string bowing, and further develops speed and facility in the left hand. A complete package from the Classical era! (3:45)
