Product Description

This arrangement of The Parting Glass is written for full orchestra with tacet percussion and modeled after the style of the of the Irish supergroup, Celtic Woman.  The Parting Glass is in the same vein as Auld Lang Syne but is still sung traditionally by the Irish though not so much by the Scottish.  The original lyrics from this song describe a person bidding farewell to a good friend who is leaving and my not return.  This arrangement opens with a cadenza solo from the principal cello that is intended to set the tone of the piece in that sorrowful dismissal of a good friend.  It is intentionally written with basic instrumentation.  It does not stretch the ranges too far, but still provides some technical and musical challenges to your ensemble.  This would be a great performance piece for a high school or community orchestra.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
