Want to add a sparkle to your string orchestra holiday program? These fun and inventive arrangements are perfect for a Level 2-3 ensemble. “Winter Fest” is a fantasia of tunes from Vivaldi's “Winter” concerto from The Four Seasons, spiced up by a liberal dusting of idiomatic rock phrases. “Nuts, Crackers, Sweet” packages three tunes from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker – the Overture, the March, and the “Russian Dance” – paired with the fiddle tunes “Cripple Creek” and “Cluck Old Hen.” Add these festive pieces to your school's holiday repertoire! Parts include: 8 Violin I, 8 Violin II, 3 Viola, 8 Violin III (Viola substitute), 5 Cello, 3 Double Bass.
