This Solo Violin arrangement of Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You keeps the intensity of my String Quartet (or Trio) arrangement, by adding fills between each statement. Your audience will really enjoy this one. It’s so popular at weddings that I often have listeners singing and dancing right along! This is just one of my many special arrangements. Check out my full listing on Sheet Music Plus! I am always adding new items for Solo Violin, String Duo, Trio, and Quartet. One thing that sets my arrangements apart from others is that I fit all of my parts on 2 sheets of music. This makes it so the songs can fit into a binder, without the need for flipping pages!  And, for multi-instrumental arrangements, I include cue lines on each part that really help with keeping the group together.

Violin Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.799118 By Dwight Yoakam. By Freddie Mercury and Frederick Mercury. Arranged by Dan Sanchez. Rock. 4 pages. Dan Sanchez #4776573. Published by Dan Sanchez (A0.799118). This Solo Violin arrangement still manages to capture the full sound of my string quartet version of Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. Your listeners will love this toe-tapping tune, so much so that you might get an air-guitarist joining you on the side!  The bowings included here with help with the swing. It’s a blast to play; I really enjoy it. I hope you do, too! One thing that sets my arrangements apart from others is that I fit all of my parts on 2 sheets of music. This makes it so the songs can fit into a binder, without the need for flipping pages! Another great thing (for multi-instrumental arrangements) is that I include cue lines on each part, so that every player in the ensemble can see one other person’s music at the same time. This is so amazingly useful and has saved countless performances in the past. If someone skips a beat or misses a measure, you can now see where they are and reconnect! This also helps with sight-reading and keeping the group together in general.  So, feel free to check out my other arrangements while you're here!Thanks,Dan

Violin Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.784340 Composed by Joshua Hauser. Instructional. 38 pages. Slide Ride #5288679. Published by Slide Ride (A0.784340). 1 Octave Scale Studies in 15+ keys for 4-part ensembles of like or mixed instruments If this is your first exposure to these scale studies, you are in for a treat! Donuts, if you make a mistake!The initial incarnation of these studies were written for trombone quartet and we would play them in the Tennessee Tech Trombone Choir with the challenge that whomever made the first mistake had to buy donuts for the rest of the ensemble. Since then I have brought that version to several clinics and warm up sessions. One time before I got to explain the title, a fellow trombone professor said, Oh, I get it! Don’t step in the holes!I only wish I had thought of that myself... Since we have one of the best donut shops in TN here in Cookeville, treating the studio to sugar coated goodies was always my intent.As with those initial exercises, you can vary these as much as you’d like.·     Choose a tempo.·     Choose a dynamic.·     Choose an articulation/style.One way I like to play these is to have one person be the model, playing the entire scale over and over while everyone else plays the fragmented versions. That helps everyone to keep on track and stay in time. Double or triple up the parts for ensemble cohesion with a larger group.Practice one key, gradually speeding it up to improve fluidity, or choose a variation and take it through all keys, playing version A, B, C, or D then skipping to play the same set in a new key.If you want an additional challenge, play them in different octaves or change the key. Play the F Major set in f minor (all forms), different modes, etc. Players really have to be on their toes to remember if they are playing melodic minor in the ascending or descending form! For jazz players, try swinging them in dorian or mixolydian modes.The variations are endless!If you are using these with transposing instruments, 1) is F Major in Concert Pitch, 2) is Bb Major in Concert pitch, and so on. When you reach a scale that is enharmonic for another key (Db/C#, Gb/F#, or Cb/B), they are presented in both keys for each instrument so Trumpets can play in Eb while the Flutes are playing in C# with similar examples for all keys.All Donut Etudes with the same volume number are compatible so you can play them in mixed quartets or large ensembles with one or more instruments/people on part 1 and a different instrument on part 2, etc. Since the quartets are all identical, conductors/coaches can use any of the scores to tell which part should be playing at what time. Once you have played a scale with one set of parts, everyone can rotate to a different part and play the same scales again!Enjoy!

Violin Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.816607 Composed by PHILLIP BLISS. Arranged by Cydney Olson Van Duker. Christian,Sacred. 10 pages. Cydney Olson Van Duker #5732919. Published by Cydney Olson Van Duker (A0.816607). It Is Well With My Soul has been around for a long time. I'm sure I've been hearing it all my life, but I didn't really notice it until recently. I felt that little tug a my heart saying that I should do some sort of arrangement; so I decided to do a string duet. This hymn is available as a violin duet, or a cello duet, or as a violin and cello duet, all with piano accompaniment. The piano meanders through the first verse, then becomes a soft, mellow pattern in the second verse. The third verse is strong, with the ending getting slower and softer, with the meandering piano again. I've kept the melody simple so it can be easily heard. This would be appropriate for any worship service. Hope you like it!

Violin Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.901389 Composed by Bill Monroe. Arranged by Camilo Barahona. Contemporary. 3 pages. Camilo Barahona #5997207. Published by Camilo Barahona (A0.901389). Hey there, this is Bill Monroe's Lonesome Moonlight Waltz in the style of Kenny Baker. I have carefully written in bow markings that map out what I feel is a smooth way to play this amazing tune. In some areas you'll see fingerings that take you into 2nd position for certain chords, which might be ideal for players with smaller hands. You'll see in the video that I just stay in 1st position except for section D, E, and the very end - it really depends on hand size, dexterity, and personal preference. Also included is a chord chart for guitar accompaniment where you'll see chord shapes for a guitar capo'd at the 5th fret. I'm a violin teacher so feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I'd be more than happy to help you out in any way I can.  .

Large Ensemble Bouzouki,Guitar,Harpsichord,Mandolin,Organ,Recorder,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.1017675 Composed by Filippo Azzaiolo. Arranged by Gordon Jackson. Classical,Folk,Multicultural,Renaissance,World. Score and parts. 8 pages. Gordon Jackson #6435525. Published by Gordon Jackson (A0.1017675). Chi passa per ’sta stradaThe sixteenth-century Italian composer, Filippo Azzaiolo (1530-1569), published three books of villotas (secular songs). In the first of these, Primo libro de villotte alla padoana a quattro voci, the first song (also the most popular) was Chi passa per ’sta strada (He who passes down this street). An exquisite chord sequence provide the basis for a simple melody, together with a set of variations I composed.The left-hand part (quite odd really, as I don’t play any keyboard instrument, but I’m sure you know what I mean!) shows the chords as I would play them on an octave mandola or a bouzouki (both tuned GDAE, one octave below mandolin or violin), and the chord diagrams show my fingerings for these. Other accompanists can simply use the chords’ letter names, also included, and work out their own fingerings/voicings. However, I strongly recommend keeping accompaniment simple and percussive, accentuating the rhythm, allowing the mandolin or other lead instrument space in which to play those variations.
