Violin Duet Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1488279 Composed by William Shield. Arranged by Robert Hoskins. Classical. 89 pages. Artaria Editions #1065167. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1488279). Artaria Editions AE387The London premires of Opp.1 and 2 probably took place at William Napier's morning concerts held at the Thatched House Tavern in St. James's Street. The performers at this venue were gentlemen amateurs backed with some professional assistance (possibly including Shield) and the audience consisted largely of nobility (but not ladies) on their way to court. Napier's concerts were more than a vehicle for airing newly published works or composers, and when it was proposed to revive the series in 1792, the Morning Chronicle of 28 January recalled that they had served to improve the taste and science of the amateur as well as introducing professional merit to the highest patronage. Shield's duets, expressly written with talented amateurs in mind (according to the title-page of Op.2), exactly suited the repertoire of the morning concerts.Both sets of duets are neatly engineered with a violinist's grasp of technique and articultion, and with each part sharing in the musical interest. The prevailing spirit of Op. 1 is Italianate and there are many attractive details to be heard. The amoroso movement of No.1, for example, with its ardent episodes and the hunting rondo of No.2 which begins with the representation of distant horn calls and later depicts a chromatically wounded prey. If the opening of No. 3 gives the impression of an exotic dance, including the audible thrum of a guitar or harp, then the rondo of No.4 can be imagined as a spring song animated with birds and breezes. The opening of No.5 is as propulsive as a theatre overture whilst No.6, written for either violins or flutes, assumes a suitably fluty tone. Op.2 is an altogether more compact set which sharpens the focus on elements already noticed in Op.1. Shield employs a variety of forms including minuet, variations, rondo and canon; and he also adopts vocal styles including lyric song (for the affettuoso movement of No.1) and arioso (for the opening adagio of No.2). The first movement of No. 3 sounds like a mini stage overture whilst the adagio of No. 5 can be heard as a melting duet. Both movements of No. 4 adhere to folk style, incorporating hurdygurdy like figurations and simulated versions of the northern pipe-tunes which Shield himself so avidly collected.   This edition presents as faithfully as possible the intentions of Napier's source. The style and notation of articulation and dynamic markings have been standardised throughout and, where missing, markings have been reconstructed from parallel passages. The notation of appoggiature has also been standardised to minimize confusion. Obvious wrong notes have been corrected without comment; editorial emendations with no authority from the source are placed within brackets. Robert Hoskins.

Each piece is designed to reflect something of the text of the original song, and the character of each piece should be explored in performance It is hoped that these duos may be a source of pleasure for students and a useful resource for teachers.

Violin Duet Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.552401 Composed by Leo Delibes (1836-1891). Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards,Wedding. 7 pages. Jmsgu3 #6342505. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.552401). Duo of flowers from Lakme, Act I. A popular wedding selection.Leo Delibes (1836-1891) was a French composer of the Romantic period best known for his ballets and operas. He was a child prodigy and began composing music at the age of seven. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire, where he developed a mastery of the symphonic form and wrote several pieces for the orchestra. His works for the stage are among the most popular and beloved of the Romantic era, including the ballets Coppélia and Sylvia, and the opera Lakmé.Delibes was a pioneer in the use of orchestral color and instrumental effects to enhance the dramatic narrative of his works. His works are often praised for their lyricism, graceful melodies, and colorful orchestrations. His music is considered to be a bridge between the grandiose and romantic works of the French composers before him, such as Gounod and Berlioz, and the more intimate and melodic style of composers like Debussy and Ravel.Delibes’ influence can be heard in the works of later composers such as Stravinsky and Prokofiev, and his music continues to be performed and enjoyed today. His contributions to music history are significant, and his works remain beloved masterpieces of the Romantic era.Léo Delibes' opera Lakmé is an opera in three acts. It was first performed in 1883 at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris. The libretto was written by Edmond Gondinet and Philippe Gille. The story is set in British-occupied India and tells the story of a young Indian girl, Lakmé, who is in love with a British officer, Gerald. The story follows the couple's romantic journey, as well as the obstacles they face from Lakmé's father and the British military. The opera is best known for its beautiful score, which includes the famous aria The Flower Duet as well as the duet Lakmé! The Bell Song. The opera has been performed in opera houses all over the world and is considered one of Delibes' most popular works.The Duo des Fleurs, composed by French composer Léo Delibes, is a ballet pas de deux from the ballet Lakme, Act I. It is a beloved masterpiece of the Romantic period and is often performed as a standalone piece in many ballet performances. The piece is typically danced by two female ballet dancers and is known for its playful and lighthearted nature. The music consists of a melody that alternates between the two dancers and is often accompanied by a lighthearted waltz. The music has a strong sense of unity and connection between the two dancers, which is enhanced by the use of the same melody. The piece also features a beautiful soaring coda that gives it a sense of grandeur and beauty. The Duo des Fleurs is an exquisite piece of music and an enduring classic of the ballet repertoire.

Pământul întreg se destramă El trece şi dincolo, mamă? Materia unde se duce Din locul c-o floare de cruce? Urmează mai greu după greu? Se moare şi-acolo mereu? Şi cine plânge aceste Noi morţi fără boli, fără veste? Tu toate voiai să le ştii, Izvor pentru verbul a fi, Tu care născut-ai în chin, Această ninsoare ţi-o-nchin, Sfinţind cu prohod de nămeţi, Prea multele tale peceţi. LYRICS IN ENGLISH (a gross translation): Elegy by Marin Sorescu Mom, the first snow, It's starting to fall on you, You listen to the gust of wind, Hidden in one word. The whole earth is falling apart, but does it go Beyond, mother? Where does the matter go From the place of a flower-like cross? Does harder follow after just hard? Do people also die in their after-life world? And who cries about these new sudden deaths without any disease? You wanted to know everything, As you are the Source for the verb „to be�, You who gave birth in torment, I homage you with this snow, Sanctifying with a sacred chant of mud, The too-many of your seals.

Four traditional Christmas Carols (We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Ukranian Bell Carol, What Child is This (Greensleeves), and We Three Kings are arranged here for 2 violins.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas is arranged as a Canon so it's a great teaching piece with more equal parts. Most of the melodies stay in first position. Any of the songs can be played separately, but I called it a medley because the keys of each song go well together!
