Johnny’s A Soldier - Hall, arr.
Difficulty: B	OMEA Class: B	Publ. Code: 20255678
A setting of two important songs in America’s history, first, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, sometimes called Buttermilk Hill, is arranged in lush harmonies to create a mood of sadness at the departure of a young boy as he goes off to war. This is followed by When Johnny comes Marching Home Again changing the mood to exhilaration at his safe return home. All instruments have a chance at the melody. This arrangement was made for the Mansfield Symphony String Quartet to play at children’s concerts.
Concertino in G - Sammartini/Hall            MP3            short MP3
Difficulty: ME	OMEA Class: C	Publ. Code: 20250693
Sammartini was a well known organist and composer who served as Chapelmaster in the big churches in Milan. He is a contemporary of Bach and Handel so his music is in the traditional Baroque style. This Concertino in G major is characterized by running 16th and 8th notes on separate bow strokes. The scale and arpeggios patterns lie well for all of the string instruments in this key, but they keep moving all the time making this an enjoyable experience for the performers and listeners. Borders on the difficult side for Class C.

“OMEA Class” refers to the assigned difficulty rating on the Ohio Music Educators Association Required List. Sound samples are provided for some of the arrangements on this site. These are produced as MP3 files, with links noted after those arrangements for which they are available. Many also provide a "short MP3" alternative for those with slower, dial-up connections. While all sound samples are fairly compact, the shorter versions will typically download four to five times faster than their fuller counterparts. Score samples are also provided for some arrangements. These show the first page (and sometimes several pages) of the score, and are provided in PDF format. You will need to have the Adobe Reader installed to be able to read these files. If you are unsure if you have this capability, click on a score link and see what happens. If you cannot read the file, a free version of the Adobe Reader is available at www.adobe.com.
