New Titles for FULL ORCHESTRA Monday, December 26, 2022

recommended by Maureen Driscoll and Megan W., Orchestra Specialists

Graduation Suite by Edward Elgar and Jean-Joseph Mouret/arr. Michael Story, Grade 2.5
A must for any regal ceremony. The traditional “Pomp and Circumstance” has been scored for young full orchestra or strings alone. It includes a processional and the majestic “Rondeau” from Premiere Suite as the recessional. This arrangement would be an outstanding graduation choice for any level orchestra performing without graduating seniors. A welcome necessary arrangement for every library.

Jonas Brothers in Concert arr. Michael Story, Grade 2.5
“Jonas Brothers in Concert” contains two hits from the talented siblings – “Leave Before You Love Me” and “Mercy” (from “Space Jam: A New Legacy”). Although it is scored for full orchestra, this arrangement is completely playable by string orchestra alone, or with any number of added winds or percussion.
