One of the most famous ballets by Tchaikovsky is given special treatment by veteran orchestra arranger Merle Isaac. Two lovely melodies are included in this rewarding collection. Both are complete arrangements, but they can be performed as a suite.
Includes:
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
Waltz of the Flowers
In the full orchestra series, all material (except percussion) is covered in the string writing so the pieces can be performed in their entirety by a string orchestra, or by adding winds and percussion you can perform these works as a full orchestra.
