Instrumental Duet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1375796 By Journey. By Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, and Steve Perry. Arranged by Krista Broadway Swider. Pop,Rock. 10 pages. Krista Swider #960344. Published by Krista Swider (A0.1375796). This song has a simple format, but was a challenge to arrange for a duo because it often requires more than two lines to be played at once. There are multiple verses and choruses that champion bass, vocal, and guitar lines which are all essential and must to be played simultaneously to maintain the integrity of the music. I had to be creative and infuse the viola part with elements of the bass line along with the guitar while the violin carries the vocal line. I still found ways to trade the melody between violin and viola, and added double stops where they add to the harmonies and overall affect without being terribly difficult. Measures are numbered, parts and score are bowed, and rehearsal letters included.

This version is arranged as a duet in a Gospel style for one Violin and one Viola. Click on the YouTube link above to listen to a full length performance of this arrangement played on Clarinet.The melody of Silent Night was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber in 1918, a setting for the lyrics of a young priest, Joseph Mohr. After flooding had damaged the church organ in Oberdorf, Austria, Mohr asked local schoolmaster, Gruber, to write a Christmas melody to be accompanied by guitar. Silent Night was the result. The carol remained unpublished until 1833, but has since gained huge international popularity. Bing Crosby’s version sold more than 10 million copies and UNESCO has declared the carol an intangible cultural heritageWith a performance time of around two and a half minutes, this version of Silent Night is perfect for seasonal celebrations and concert performances, both formal and informal. The gospel style is a fun, fresh and soulful take on this familiar tune.Silent Night is arranged in a key and range best suited to the instruments. The 9/8 meter may be feel unusual to some, and there is plenty of articulation detail to help deliver an authentic style. The melody is played twice, with a short intro and a bluesy outdo. This arrangement is suitable for players at an intermediate level.

Instrumental Duet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1439319 By Taylor Swift. By Taylor Swift. Arranged by Krista Broadway Swider. Pop. 10 pages. Krista Swider #1019327. Published by Krista Swider (A0.1439319). In this arrangement, the melody is passed between the violin and viola frequently, making careful use of their respective registers. The piece uses a combination of pizzicato and arco in various parts to create that light, magical feel that Swift's original evokes. Each time the chorus returns, though, the viola plays rhythmic double stops which provide a strong back beat to the violin's vocal melody. Even the electric guitar solos are included! Score is bowed, measures numbered and rehearsal letters marked for ease of sightreading at gigs.
