Download or read book More Folk Strings for String Quartet or String Orchestra written by Joanne Martin and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Folk Strings is a collection of melodies from around the world, in a variety of moods and with rhythmic patterns and harmonies that are representative of their country of origin. Because of the flexible scoring used in More Folk Strings, players at a variety of levels can make music together and less experienced players can play the solo (melody) parts, which use little or no shifting and are in accessible keys. Some pieces in the collection are easier than others. The collection is available in a number of instrumentations for string quartet or string orchestra, for violin ensemble, viola ensemble, cello ensemble, for two, three, or four violin, viola or cello players in any combination of these instruments, and for solo violin, solo viola, and solo cello. The piano accompaniment may be used with any of the combinations. In More Folk Strings for String Quartet or String Orchestra, the melody is passed around so that all members of the ensemble can have the opportunity to play the tune. Score and parts are marked with "melody" and "harmony" to help players bring out the melody at the appropriate moment. Teachers' notes provide lyrics and background information on each folk song in addition to rehearsal and performance suggestions.

Download or read book Folk Strings for String Quartet or String Orchestra written by Joanne Martin and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folk Strings is a collection of folk melodies from around the world arranged for strings. Unlike classical music, which normally has an "authentic" version, folk music often exists in many versions, with differences in the melody or lyrics. Sometimes several countries lay claim to a melody because a group of people moved to a new country and took their music with them. Most folk songs were sung and played for many years before they were written down, and their original composer is usually unknown. This collection includes melodies in a variety of moods and with rhythmic patterns which are representative of their country of origin. The arrangements in Folk Strings can be effective with players at a variety of levels. In order to provide maximum flexibility, the collection is available in a number of instrumentations.

Download or read book Selected String Quartets written by Pierre Rode and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierre Rode (1774–1830) was one of the finest violinists of his day, earning a reputation throughout Europe for his extraordinary and lavish virtuosity. His twenty-four pedagogical caprices and thirteen violin concertos are perhaps his most performed works today, and as such his rich and diverse contribution to string quartet repertoire has largely been forgotten. This edition presents a timeline of Rode’s relationship with the quartet: opus 11, written during the height of the French Revolutionary period, was clearly intended for private, domestic enjoyment; opus 18 provides a flashback to the quatuor concertante style of pre-revolutionary Paris that became synonymous with the likes of Giovanni Battista Viotti; opus 24 and opus posthume reflect the quatuor brillant, a virtuosic, concerto-like style of quartet that became all the rage in European musical centers in the second decade of the nineteenth century.
