Kalmus Orchestra Sheet Music

Teachers keep coming back to Shostakovich's Sinfonia (Symphony) for String Orchestra, which leads the catalog in adoptions, followed by Samuel A. Ward's America the Beautiful and Dag Ivar Wiren's Serenade, Op. 11. Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and Vivaldi's Gloria in D round out the core repertoire that defines this collection.

Recent additions include Richard Hayman's When the Saints Go Marching In, Gershwin's Swanee, and Haydn's Symphony No. 26 in D minor (Christmas Symphony), along with Elgar's In the South and Handel's Solomon excerpt, all published within the last year.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart anchors this collection with 11 titles, including the perennial Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525. His serenades and lighter orchestral works offer teachers reliable, engaging material that students know and audiences enjoy.

Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky brings 8 titles to the catalog, with The Nutcracker Suite No. 2 among the most requested. His ballet excerpts and orchestral works are staples for seasonal programs and concert seasons.

Mike Lewis, a working composer of 9 orchestral arrangements, contributes pieces like The Summer Knows (Theme from Summer of '42). His ear for film and popular material bridges classical training with contemporary repertoire that resonates with modern ensembles.
