A barcarolle is a traditional folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers, characterized by a rhythm reminiscent of the gondolier's stroke, almost invariably in 6/8 meter at a moderate tempo. or an instrumental piece composed in the same classical style.

This modern Barcarolle, is a soft lilting Barcarolle in 6/8 time. It is in concert E flat major and in ternary form. After a gentle introduction the main theme begins with the instruments sharing the melodic line before eventually harmonising. These outer sections provide a lilting, rocking type mood to set the character of the piece. The middle section by contrast, has a lot more movement for variety but keeps within the style of the Barcarolle. On return of the main theme once more the piano takes the melody with small embellishments by the individual parts before a gentle conclusion.

It is around 5 minutes long.
The Youtube link has the full score for you to assess suitability. Ideal for concerts, recitals, festivals, competitions, etc

A Piano Accompaniment track is available.

Valse Sentimentale is in ternary form, in 3/4 time and romantic in nature

The first section is a gentle waltz in G minor minor and the second section by contrast is in E flat major and takes on a barcarolle like quality but remaining in 3/4 not the traditional 6/8. It returns to section one again and the coda brings back a short reminder of the barcarolle theme in G major to finish.

The range of the violins are around two octaves with the top note- top E flat appearing once. Bowing is excluded and left to the performer.

Each part is equally divided to avoid the 1st violin and 2nd definition. I have set it to intermediate level but the whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess. It would work well for a variety of occasions.

It is around 5 mins 50 in length.

Price is for the full score and parts.

Flute duet, Clarinet duet, Oboe Duet, Alto Sax Duet and Solo Piano versions are also available
