  1. 1. Aquarium

    by Paul Van Geldrop
    Download Get a license from MCPS Production Music
    A new arrangement of this orchestral classic. A gentle flute melody floats above a mysterious and intricate soundscape of piano and strings, halting for a brief cascade of piano notes and string ostinato at 01:16. Pianos, strings and tinkling celeste punctuate harmonic pauses before both pianos lead the piece to a slow end with a waterfall of notes, ending on a hopeful A major chord.

      1. 2. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

        A new arrangement of this Tchaikovsky classic. Starting off with almost comic pizzicato strings, the sweet and playful melody then comes in on celeste. A short and cheeky countermelody in the woodwinds ties the various melodic parts together, until the piece grows in intensity and instrumentation, becoming a more sweeping dance.

            A new arrangement of this Greig classic from the Peer Gynt Suite. Gentle woodwinds introduce a simple but charming main melody, before being joined by the string and brass sections, creating images of a beautiful sunrise and birdsong, building up to a grand orchestral sweep that conjures a glorious and hopeful musical sun sweeping over majestic mountains.

              1. 4. In The Hall of the Mountain King

                by Paul Van Geldrop
                Download Get a license from MCPS Production Music
                A new arrangement of this classic from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. Heavy pizzicato strings and bassoons both introduce the apprehensive melody and the steady rhythmic pulse that is so characteristic for this piece. As woodwinds take over the melody, the string sections develops more and more unnerving rhythmic figures until the listener is led into a roaring and march-like fury of orchestral power, where clashing cymbals and timpani set an unrelenting pace.

                    A new arrangement of Symphony no. 3 by Ludwig Van Beethoven, with a full orchestral sting, this piece starts off with an energy that remains present throughout. With lovely melodies and countermelodies dancing back and forth between the different sections against a rhythmic background of strings, it provides many varied sections that keep the listener pleasantly surprised until arriving at a grand orchestral reprise of the main theme, ending in a final orchestral blast.

                        An excerpt from Variations On An Original Theme by Elgar. Starting with soft strings, this piece builds up a complex tapestry of different melodies that almost imperceptibly shift between the orchestral sections. Growing towards a full orchestral climax that sounds both triumphant and nostalgic at the same time, it then swiftly calms itself to a gentle and hopeful ending of strings and woodwinds.

                            A new arrangement of this Gabriel Fauré classic. Pizzicato strings set the pace for this elegant dance, in which the melody is introduced by flute. Throughout the piece, the melody and its countermelody dance between woodwinds and strings, all against the steady pulse of low pizzicato strings until coming to a rest at a graceful final chord.

                                A new arrangement of the Tchaikovsky classic from Swan Lake (Swan Theme) Tremolo strings and soft harp immediately set the mysterious mood for this piece, while an oboe plays the elegant and graceful main melody. A more dramatic interlude of brass and strings grabs the ears, before a sweeping string section and rhythmic woodwinds build slowly towards a dramatic full orchestral climax as if taking flight.

                                    A new arrangement of this Mozart classic. Strings and bassoons immediately introduce the swift and cheerful theme that repeatedly returns in the entire piece, setting the energetic pace right from the start. With alternating orchestral tuttis, playful woodwinds, cascading strings, staccato accents, and jubilant brass, the piece climbs to an intense climax of full orchestral power.

                                        A new arrangement of this orchestral classic by Pietro Mascagni. Gentle con sordino strings introduce the nostalgic melody before being joined by the harp which acts as both harmonic enrichment and rhythmic basis. The ensemble builds in intensity with climbing strings and dynamics before coming to an end on a final chord with strings, harp and woodwinds.
