Feature this amazingly authentic arrangement of a Baroque masterpiece! Two movements from Handel's Water Music Suite No. 2 highlight some of the most famous music from the Baroque era while falling well within the technical capability of a young orchestra. Wonderful music with a vast amount of teaching opportunities! (3:00)

This expressive work aims to encapsulate the essence of serenity through its calm, moderate tempo and simple rhythms. A beautiful interplay between sweeping melodic lines and a gorgeous harmonic language provides unlimited potential for phrasing and music-making. (2:20)
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!
