The Trumpet Tune and Air was in fact written for organ, with the melody played on thetrumpet stop.  Written around 1700, for many years this piece was attributed to Henry Purcell. But more recently many have questioned whether the composer was in fact Jeremiah Clarke, organist at St Paul’s Cathedral. What is known is that the piece was written for a semi-opera called The Island Princess, and that both men contributed music to the production. In recent years this piece has become a popular wedding favourite.

 This full version is arranged as a duet for Violin and Cello and the performance time is around two and a half minutes. Of course, performers, especially at weddings, may wish to abridge and shorten the arrangement. This is easily done as the different sections are self-contained and the repeat may be ignored. The short sample here and the full length version on the youtube link are from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version of this arrangement.

Musicians at an intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. There are of course separate piano and instrumental parts included in downloaded the file.

Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with strict time, full tone and dynamic contrast.

Ten minutes of the most exciting music you may ever play.  Worth the price just for the special (and easy) treatment of the introduction and famous Gliding theme, you get the whole of Dance #17.  People will be looking around for where you are hiding the extra musicians, unable to believe a single violin and cello are making this much sound. While some parts are inescapably hard, even in the original, I have taken care to mark easier alternatives and parts that can be skipped, or early endings.  The best thing is, you only have to find one other person in order to play this wonderful music.

The score and separate violin and cello parts are included, paginated for easy handling so you never need but two sheets at the same time on your music stand (5 sheets for each part total).

Perhaps Rimsky-Korsakov's most celebrated work.

Sultan Schahriar, convinced of the unfaithfulness of women, swore to execute each of his wives after the first night.
But the Sultana Shéhérazade saved her life by diverting him with the stories which she told him during a thousand and one nights. The Sultana so roused the Sultan's curiosity with the stories told him, that he continually delayed her execution.

Finally, he renounced his terrible vow altogether. Shéhérazade told the Sultan many amazing stories, blending the
verses of poets with the words of songs, combining fairy tales with adventures.

The Princess Of Sintra

It is not a beginners choice, it is appropriate for experienced and advanced students and musicians. 

It is relatively easy to perform once thoroughly practiced. 

When played „Live you will experience a great rewarding from its magical power upon the public.

Some interpretation symbols where used in the score, they are mere personal suggestions. Most of the score is left to the interpretation of the artists involved, particularly the use of fingering. 

The bowing is very often simply used as a reference to musical legato. 

The staccato is meant to shorten the length of the notes to half of its duration and is often used to simplify the righting and the reading of the score.

The piece is not difficult but it requires focused endurance and some practice on certain passages. 

Once learned you will never forget it. 

When performed Live It will give you back a great  feedback from the public, you will always want to have it in your repertoire.

Feel Free to apply in this piece the Art and technic that expresses entirely your individual skills and taste.

Have fun!

It is a very flexible piece that can be used in all kinds of events.

This piece can also be performed between the „Celtiberian Danceand the Celtiberian Fantasy, as all this 3 pieces where composed with that purpose.

To the last note of „The Princess Of Sintra follows the first of the „Celtiberian Fantasy. 

The score was written on Finale.

The sound file was produced with samplers from Garritan and conceived merely as an audio support for the presentation of this score.

Thank you very much for taking your time to read this text and to listen to the file.

I hope you have a lot of fun and enjoy the music.

Sheers!

MY QUARTET VERSIONS, in short notice usually work fine for solo, two parts and three parts 

however I also offer individual versions for one, two and three parts that are more detailed for these ensembles.

Please visit  https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/search?Ntt=sherry+lewis+publishing for all of the titles I offer.

If you can’t find a title then contact me through stringquartet@hotmail.com and I’ll give you the link back to Sheet Music Plus’s listing.

VERSATILE Titles that include four parts are written with the idea that they can be performed with 1, 2, 3 or 4 musicians. Most of the contemporary/popular titles include a chord chart for a bass instrument.

PRACTICE needs would vary according to the level of the performers but my goal is to be sight-readable for most performers and groups. 

AUDIO SAMPLE The 30 second mp3 is frequently shortened and may not start at the introduction to get to the reprise. The actual introduction will be in the sheet music.

LISTENABILITY I have performed thousands of weddings and special events. I make it a goal for the music to carry as well as possible through loud and large space situations. 

ARRANGEMENTS usually follow the original version. There is an mp3 where you can hear 30 seconds and get a feeling of the originality of the work.

EXCELLENT for corporate events, weddings, social gatherings and recitals.

APPROPRIATE for students and schools.

CHURCH REPERTOIRE I’m always adding more titles.

Thank you for your purchase!

The Prince of Denmark’s March is better known nowadays as the Trumpet Voluntary and is often used in wedding ceremonies. It was in fact written for organ, with the melody played on thetrumpet stop.  Written around 1700, for many years this piece was mistakenly attributed to Henry Purcell. Only recently has it been established that the composer was Jeremiah Clarke, organist at St Paul’s Cathedral. It is somewhat ironic that this composer of a wedding mainstay was himself a victim of unrequited love. He consequently shot himself in the cathedral graveyard.

This full version is arranged as a duet for Violin and Cello and the performance time is around two and a half minutes. Of course, performers, especially at weddings, may wish to abridge and shorten the arrangement. This is easily done as the different sections are self-contained and the repeat may be ignored. The complete performance on youtube and the short audio sample are from the Clarinet Duet version of this arrangement.

Musicians at an intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances, with both parts enjoying melodic interest.

Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with strict time, full tone and dynamics.
