Waltz (La plus que Lente) Debussy, Arr. by Matthew Moreno, Grade 4
Waltz (La plus que Lente) Arranged by Matthew Moreno
This beautiful and subdued waltz by Debussy is a unique and colorful addition to any concert program. Complex impressionistic harmonies support a delightful melody that goes through several iterations before a relaxed and satisfying ending. Debussy at his finest in a superb arrangement for strings!

Storm for String Orchestra (Grade 1.5) by Soon Hee Newbold
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)
Allegretto from Symphony No. 3 by Schubert, arr. McCashin (Grade 3)
