Product Details


Product Description

This arrangement of "The First Noel" is for a 6-part string orchestra. The parts include Violin I (Melody), Violin II, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, and a Violin Solo for something like a Descant. The aim is to create a harmony-rich sound, transforming the carol into an orchestral experience.

The arrangement emphasizes the interplay of each section. The main melody is carried by the First Violins. The Second Violins provide harmonies and rhythmic interest that support the main melody. The Viola, Cello, and Double Bass sections establish a harmonic foundation and add depth to the sound.

The Violin Solo Descant is a defining characteristic of this arrangement. The solo line takes flight with semiquavers throughout the chorus sections. This adds brilliance and creates a soaring overlay that elevates this arrangement greatly.

If you don't believe me, listen to the audio preview. I'm pretty sure you will love it!
