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!
Noël Re-Nouvellé
Pot pourri des chants de Noëls Français les
plus populaires pour trio à cordes. Durée de six minutes à la vitesse proposée.
A jolly romp through some of the
most popular French language carols, Noël Re-Nouvellé is a
medley for string trio lasting 6 minutes at given
tempo. With optional 2nd violin for viola
part.
Written with interest in all three parts, and taking turns with
melody and accompaniment, this is a very enjoyable arrangement for ensembles
of intermediate ability. If you have a great viola player or bored cellist
s/he will love this! Contains some double
stopping of open and stopped strings.

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
in the lower string parts), making them suitable for student and mixed ability
groups. A complete score and set of individual parts (violin, violin 2, viola,
cello) is included. Enjoy and feel free to email comments or requests for
other works to stringspirational@gmail.com
