This arrangement was requested by my wife when she had four pupils of this standard who wanted to play something together. The two principle parts are as Bach's original, parts three and four making up some of the other parts. As in the original, the tunes pass between the different players, making this a little tour de force as a concert item. david@springquartet.co.uk ; www.springquartet.co.uk

Olympic Reel (violin part - violin and rhythm section) MO139B

Violin Part - Violin and Folk Instr. (lead sheet available)

Music by Mark O’Connor

4 pages - 2:00 minutes in length

Olympic Reel (for violin) composed by Mark O'Connor was written in early 1996 for the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, GA. It was premiered at the closing ceremonies before 100,000 people in the Olympic Stadium, with 10,000 world-class athletes from around the world in attendance, as well as 3.5 billion people from the television viewing audience.

Mr. O'Connor wanted to write a fiddle tune that brought celtic sounds from Europe mixed in with the American folk music to give an international flavor to the style. One of Mr. O'Connor's friends and colleagues, Natalie MacMaster, was the artist to first record this music on CD, and she subsequently asked the composer to join her in a version that accommodated both of them on fiddles. The result was fiddle fireworks, Olympic style!

Original music printed from the composer’s manuscripts.
