String Trios From Around The World

10 TRIOS POUR VIOLON, ALTO ET VIOLONCELLE

AUTEUR: DAVID BROOKER

STYLE; Classique

NIVEAU: Intermédiaire

COMMENTAIRE: David Brooker’s arrangements for string trio of folk music from around the world are fun for all three players. Great ensemble teaching pieces.

This book of folk music from four continents, with an emphasis on love songs, keeps to the spirit of the original pieces while making the music idiomatic and fun to play. The parts are equal in difficulty (easy to intermediate); in fact, David says that, as a violist himself, he has made sure that the violinist doesn’t get all the tunes! The arrangements include a few unusual techniques but David promises they are not as hard as they look or sound.

Conducteur et parties sont fournis.
