Level of Difficulty
Attributing a particular level of difficulty to an orchestral piece is awkward!
A piece may be easy for the strings but difficult for the brass; it may feature a tricky instrumental solo but the other parts may be relatively straight forward. A number of the arrangements listed are designed to simplify works to some extent but composers of many original works featured did not consider difficulty when writing them.
What our levels mean:
A = for players up to UK Grade 3
B = Grade 3 to 5
C = Grade 4 to 6
D = Grade 5 to 7
E = Grade 6 to 8
F = Grade 7 and over
Our gradings should be taken only as a rough guide.
To be sure if a piece is suitable for you, take a look at the score.
The third item from "Scotland at Night", a group of six original poems by well-known novelist Alexander McCall Smith (author of "The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series and many other novels) set to music by Tom Cunningham. An attempt to reveal some of that other Scotland - the Scotland that begins at dusk. Originally scored for unaccompanied mixed voice choir, this version has been arranged by the composer for a choir of sopranos, altos and men, accompanied by piano.
