String Orchestra - Digital Download SKU: A0.876189 By Richard Byrnes. By Johannes Brahms. Arranged by Richard Byrnes. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 61 pages. Richard Byrnes #482594. Published by Richard Byrnes (A0.876189). Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a German composer who crafted his works using the techniques of musical counterpoint within traditional forms. Within those strictures he created many beautiful and powerful works. A romantic period ballade usually implies a poetic narrative and often composed without a specific form. Completed in 1893, Brahms has set this Ballade in ABA form and is a part of his later piano works displaying a forceful opening contrasted with a light middle section. It finishes quietly and, as some have posited, introspectively. This is an arrangement for 4 Violins, 3 Violas, 3 Celli, & Bass. In addition to works by Brahms, we offer works by J.S. Bach, Debussy, Fauré, Glinka, Gottschalk, Granados, Griffes, Lotti, Mozart, Ravel, Richard Strauss, and Turina.
