The fourth movement of Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5 is based on the famous Lutheran chorale, 'A Mighty Fortress is Our God.' This arrangement retains all the wonderful colours of Mendelssohn's original orchestration while giving students a chance to learn a wide variety of playing styles (including legato, marcato, and staccato). Playable in first position for strings with some optional shifting for violin 1 and basses.
