Community orchestra rehearsals begin next week. We plan to play Rossini's Overture to the Barber of Seville, Haydn's Symphony No. 101, the Clock, and Mozart's Symphony No. 28. I am nowhere near prepared, in terms of practicing, but have, at least, been listening to YouTube versions. I am posting them here for easy reference by me, and, as always, for anyone else who is interested:
Rossini, Overture from the Barber of Seville (this is the most challenging, in E major and E minor, and quite fast. There are multiple versions of this online, including a guitar orchestra version, and several vocal chorus versions.):
Haydn's Symphony No. 101, The Clock. (This one seems more do-able.)
First movement, Adagio/Allegro
Second movement, Andante
Third movement, Minuetto/Allegro
Fourth movement, Finale, Spirituoso
Mozart, Symphony No. 28. This is the first movement, Allegro Spiritoso. There are three other movements, Andante, Menuetto, and Presto, but I haven't found them on YouTube yet.
And a version to discourage an adult cellist entirely--or give hope! A seven-year-old cellist plays this in a quartet--his family, I think.

My orchestra? Is playing the Hatikva, which is a pretty cool arrangement of the Israeli national anthem. Although I think given current events, is not exactly in good taste.
And yes, I live in red state, why do you ask? ;)
I love Hatikva (the hope), whatever its political implications. I have only played it as a cello round, but our cello ensemble did perform it, oblivious to any territorial meanings.
We're all purple states in the new administration!
I love that little guy!
