This famous aria pays homage to Johann Sebastian Bach and remains one of the most popular of Villa-Lobos' works, originally written for solo soprano and eight celli. Jamin Hoffman's setting for string orchestra spotlights a violin soloist with the beautiful melodic line, which soars and captivates, in the manner of Bach's long non-repeating slow movements. Extraordinary programming for today's string orchestras!

This sardonic waltz, taken from the Suite for Variety Orchestra, may be Shostakovich's most well-known piece. It has appeared in movie soundtracks, commercials, and even soccer fields! Slightly simplified and arranged for a young string orchestra, Hoffman's arrangement swings from B minor to D Major and back again. When performed in Europe, it's traditional for audiences to sway and sing along-- a tradition that begs to be transported “across the pond!”

Tchaikovsky spent the summer and autumn of 1880 at his sisters country estate in Kamianka, Ukraine, where he sought peace and relaxation. But after a short time the desire to work took hold of him again. “I'm sketching a symphony or string quintet just now; I don't know where it's going yet,” he wrote to his friend and patroness Nadezhda von Meck. In the end it turned out to be a Serenade for String Orchestra, which numbers among his most beautiful inspirations and is today a central work in the genre. The four movements captivate with their diverse moods – be it the Mozartian first movement “in the form of a sonatina”, the elegant Waltz, the melancholy “Elegia” or the rousing Finale. For this new source-critical edition it was possible to consult the autograph in Moscow as well as the early printed editions into which Tchaikovsky sometimes entered a number of minor revisions. Clear the stage for the new reference edition of this indispensable work of the string-orchestra repertoire!
