Suite From Julius Caesar — for Harpsichord and String Orchestra Score and Parts

This arrangement from Julius Caesar, perhaps the most beautiful of Handel's operas, is the first edition and the publisher's tribute to Handel. Adding two choral movements from Julius Caesar to the pieces chosen, the arranger Heinz Freudenthal has put them together into a suite. The original score, which partly included instruments no longer common today, has been simplified for string orchestra and harpsichord (or piano). Thus this festive and gratifying music will be accessible also to small amateur and school orchestras. All notations such as gradations, phrasing, bowing, etc. are made by the editor, and are intended to match the style of the 17th century. A third violin part is included as an alternative to the viola. Movements: 1. Overture, 2. Coro I, 3. Sinfonia I, 4. Coro II, 5. Sinfonia II, 6. March
