Johannes Brahms: Academic Festival Overture, Opus 80: (Arr. Robert D. McCashin): Cordes (Ensemble)

This arrangement offers exciting opportunities for more mature players. A combination of juxtaposed and interlocking double-stops are used to maintain the sonorous depth of Brahms’s original work. Several edits have been made to bring this to a more appropriate length for concert and festival performances. Although this is ideal for large string orchestras, also consider using it for a chamber group of your finest musicians! (6:00)
