About this arrangement

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.527309 Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Michelle Taylor-Cohen. 20th Century. Score and parts. 48 pages. Saturn Strings #5042487. Published by Saturn Strings (A0.527309). This challenging arrangement provides the opportunity for a young string ensemble (of approximately Grade 5-6 level) to experience the exhilaration of Holst’s epic symphonic orchestral work, albeit on a slightly smaller scale!  Although some of the more complex sections have been omitted, as much as possible of the original structure has been preserved. In order to save valuable rehearsal time, some of the notation has been respelled so that it is more obviously readable to younger players. For example, in bars 28-33 the original D flats (going to B naturals) in the 1st violin part have been rewritten as C sharps. Hopefully this (and other similar respellings) will be more practical and lead to a smoother rehearsal experience for all involved! This piece requires both a 3rd violin and a viola section.
