Adagio for Strings (From Septet)
April 2011 – Duration 4/5 minutes.
Requested by Gary Woolf for the Banda di Musica, this piece is a slightly simplified arrangement of my Septet’s slow 4th movement. The cello solo remains the same apart from the harmonics, which have been transferred as ordinary high notes to a solo violin. This will make the piece much more approachable for younger players.
There are two Arrangements;
No.1 – School Arrangement – Violins 1, 2 and 3 and Cellos 1 and 2. BUY AT SHEETMUSICDIRECT
The cello solo is played by the lead cellist and is written on the Cello 1 part.
No.2 – Standard Arrangement – Violins 1 and 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass. Again, the cello solo is played by the lead cellist. BUY AT SHEETMUSICDIRECT OR SHEETMUSICPLUS
