You've heard of a fiddler on the roof? Well, how about an orchestra on the housetop! Feature the entire string orchestra, section by section, at your next winter concert (even bassists, who are cued in the cello line). Using just six notes, this new arrangement of an old holiday favorite is cleverly scored to sound rich and full. Optional percussion adds to the festivities. A perfect format for bolstering group confidence while promoting section independence! (1:30)

Dance of the Trolls for String Orchestra ( by Mike Forbes Grade 4.5 )
This fantastic arrangement of dances from the 17th century Renaissance period includes three movements, beginning with La Bouree, a lively and spirited dance. The beautiful Pavane alternates between major and minor tonalities. The final movement, Spagnoletta and Courante, is in a lilting 6/8 time. Tenor drum is optional, but highly effective and approachable. A delightful journey into the past and an excellent way to develop independence between sections. (4:15)
Experience the beauty and power of a Celtic sunrise in this accessible, yet powerful sounding work. Driving rhythms and decisive open intervals depict the countryside and rolling hills of Scotland. Optional percussion parts add to the festive quality of the piece. Get ready to experience a massive sound with your young orchestra! (Grade 1.5, Dur 2:00)
