Description
This spirited, high energy work encompasses all the attitude expressed in its title! The orchestra's true personality shines as it moves between technical off-the-string passages and soaring melodies. Combine that with syncopated rhythmic ideas and one can see why the title is so fitting. As playful as the title is, this certainly is not a novelty piece - it is a technical, yet extremely playable showcase for your orchestra. (4:00)
This outstanding pair of contrasting movements moves from a plaintive and pleading Larghetto to an Allegro with all the cheer and sparkle one can imagine. An exceptional opportunity to work on the music of Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities for musical development! (5:15)

This spectacular arrangement features four movements from Tchaikovsky's famous Album for the Young. Opening with the endearing Morning Prayer, the piece then moves into the lighthearted waltz, The Hurdy-Gurdy Man. The beautiful Sweet Dream sets the stage for the delightful last movement, March of the Wooden Soldiers. Remarkably faithful to the original while also quite accessible to younger students!
