Balmages, Blue Ridge Reel for String Orchestra Grade 3 (FJH)
For adaptable string ensemble. An exciting venture into the world of bluegrass based on one of the composer's most popular works for band. (2:45)
This delightful and approachable arrangement is an ideal introduction to Corelli's compositional style. Representing four of the original five movements, this version begins with a rewarding Adagio before moving into a sprightly Allegro. The Grave that follows offers incredible opportunities to focus on phrasing before ending with the final, cheerful Allegro. Perform as a complete work or as separate movements for many options.

Silent Night for String Orchestra (Arr. by Eric Morales, Grade 4)
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)
