Minimum Proficiency/Curricular Assumption - The student has studied the key of F, but the key of Bb may be currently under study. Fingerings that are unique to the key of Bb are provided as listed by instrument below. Positions are indicated for cello and bass 2. Harmony and Enharmonics - This piece provides an excellent opportunity to discuss how the oddly spelled note illustrates its’ function within the chord. Notes that may be new to the student or enharmonic spellings the player will encounter are listed below. Chord symbols are indicated in the score as an aid. Violin: L4 on D string, new note Ab  Viola:  L4 on G string, new note Db, Enharmonics- Cb, Fb Violin III included Cello: 2 measures extended first position (repeated).  Second position on D string Bass: New notes: Eb on D string, Db on A string, Ab on E string,            Enharmonic- Gb           Jazz Pizzicato (optional) - Place the inside of the right hand on the string and pluck with the entire side of the index finger, letting it come to rest on the lower string. This has two effects, more sustain, and a more resonant tone. The technique works great for a single bass but may cause an ensemble problem with multiple basses.

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.

At not quite 3 minutes (2:56), this Elvis classic is a favorite of humans everywhere. This arrangement of, Can't Help Falling in Love, is great for weddings; its simple format and easy cadences helps it work beautifully for processionals. I wrote this arrangement primarily in C Major as the intro is very polyphonic in nature, and I wanted to include multiple voicings in each part to help the piece sound as if it's written more for string quartet than duo. The first full verse features the violin on melody, but with the key change into the chorus, the viola takes over the melody and the violin floats over the top with a mix of a harmonic descant and its own series of triplets. The song is repeated and the parts continue to trade off with each instrument getting a chance at both the melody and the accompaniment.
