Product Description
The Holiday Season can
be really painful for lower string players in any ensemble. Playing cello in a
Carol concert makes me want to cry. That is why I have created arrangements of
classic Christmas Carols and Songs guaranteed not to bore the pants off your
violist or cellist. No more bashing out bass notes for the cello, and no more
chugging away on the off-beat for viola while the fiddles get soaring melody
after soaring counter-melody. We deserve more than this, right guys? You got
it!
Silent Night
On the bi-centenary of its composition, my arrangement of 'Silent
Night for string trio gives all the instruments
chance to shine with melody, counter melody and harmony by turns. With few
technical challenges, this musical interpretation of one of the most iconic
Christmas songs is a great play for ensembles of early intermediate standard. Scored for string trio (vln/vla/vc). With optional 2nd violin for viola part.
Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for strings
are conceived specifically with the aim of writing interesting parts for all
players. Most parts do not go beyond 4th position (with the
exception of a few harmonics), making them suitable for student and
mixed ability groups. A complete score and set of individual parts (violin 1,
violin 2, viola, cello) is included. Enjoy and feel free to email comments or
requests for other works to stringspirational@gmail.com
