About this arrangement

Orchestra (Score & Parts) - Grade 3-4 SKU: HL.4490795 Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Lloyd Conley. Music for String Orchestra. Christmas, Classical. Softcover. Duration 180 seconds. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4490795). UPC: 884088262822. 9.0x12.0x0.446 inches.A clever, lighthearted finish to your holiday program! With the never-ending goal to keep the concert short, here's the essence (nine themes) of the classic ballet, honed down to three minutes or less. Stage it with a big hourglass-type egg timer, or with a projected digital stopwatch and let the audience watch as your orchestra works toward the finish. For added drama, Lloyd has provided an optional accelerando (molto, if need be) in the “Trepak” finale, to bring it in under the wire. Dur: 3:00.
