Saratoga Springs Community Orchestra

The Saratoga Springs Community Orchestra is a non-audition, full symphony orchestra of about 80 musicians, from students to retirees, sponsored by the City of Saratoga Springs.

As Executive Director & Artistic Producer, I set the orchestra's artistic vision: choosing repertoire, building concert themes, and writing the narration and program content, along with season planning, rehearsal logistics, and working with the City and our conductors, Bob Jackman and Lea Nelson.

Arrangements

I've studied arranging with Steven Scott Smalley (Mission: Impossible) and Hummie Mann (Robin Hood: Men in Tights), among others. My orchestral arrangements of film and classical favorites are written for real community and school orchestras, with full scores and parts.

Why O Holy Night has every verse

When I told my wife I was going to help David produce a Christmas album, she asked me to include the full version of O Holy Night, reverent and faithful to the original. Too many versions leave out verses, or end on “Noel” instead of singing of Christ's power and glory.

This arrangement follows the 1847 version: John Sullivan Dwight's translation of the French poem by Placide Cappeau, with music by Adolphe Adam.

A Tribute to Our Armed Services is a song I wrote for the men and women serving far from home and family to protect our freedom.

About

Dan Fritch

I've loved music all my life, and was part of music programs from elementary school through college. I started Daniel G Fritch Music to promote new talent and share my arrangements. Today most of my music-making happens with the Saratoga Springs Community Orchestra, which I helped found to give local musicians more chances to perform.
