Product Description
This arrangement is intended for ensembles with limited instrumentation. It was originally arranged as a trio for Violin, Viola & Violoncello. So those parts alone make up a nice trio. Also the Violin & Viola make up a nice duet. Or the Violin and Violoncello also work as a duet. Thus other mixes of instruments can achieve an ensemble sound. Over time, as the ensemble's instrumentation changes, this arrangement may provide the versatility needed. A full score and a condensed score is included.
An audio recording is also offered by SHEET MUSIC PLUS, which has been self-published by the arranger. See at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/21855502
The following are groupings of instruments with like parts (also indicated in the condensed score included). If the ensemble has at least one instrument from each of these instrument groups, the FULL ensemble sound may be achieved.
Flute & Violin Oboe & Trumpet Clarinet, Viola & Alto Saxophone
F Horn, Tenor Sax, Baritone (Treble Clef), Baritone Saxophone,
Violoncello, Euphonium, Trombone & Bassoon
Bass Clarinet, Tuba, Contrabass & Bass Guitar
Percussion*
Though this arrangement was written to accommodate smaller ensembles with limited instrumentation, it is also, of course, well suited for large ensembles (e.g. full band or orchestra), at an early intermediate level, or higher.
* Percussion is optional and not required for a full ensemble sound.
