The Faerie Fiddler aims to make several not-so-easy techniques fun to practice and perform. These techniques include spiccato bowing, trills, and ornamentation. Development of such delicate techniques should be supervised by an experienced violin teacher. Although The Faerie Fiddler is not intended to be an etude book, I hope these elfin solos and duos will be enjoyed by both student and teacher as supplemental repertory. This complete anthology contains 15 solo pieces and 5 violin duos. Front matter is appended to the back. I've endeavored to channel mischievous Puck to sprinkle magic juice on tricky techniques by writing interesting pieces that (1) captivate the player while maintaining simple forms; (2) use woodland imagery; and (3) introduce traditional dance forms. Whimsical verses accompany the pieces and serve to (1) introduce each piece; (2) identify and highlight specific techniques (3) encourage observation of what the music is doing; (4) cast humor on the process, so that student, teacher, and writer are accomplices in the same game. The faerie fiddler techniques are reinforced throughout the book (all pieces except Raucous Rondo include spiccato bowing). Clarity and consistency are maintained in the expression markings so that the student will know when and when not to play off the string (only notes with dots are to be played off the string). The solo pieces and the Violin 2 parts of the duos are written in first position. Violin 1 parts of the duos use third position. Duo 4, Just a Dream, also uses fifth position in the upper part. Though the pieces are short and may look easy, their execution offers challenges, given the transparency of the spiccato bowing and ornamentation techniques. I hope The Faerie Fiddler will provide an enjoyable supplement to spiccato, trills, and ornamentation studies. The sample audio file presented here is the Elf Queen's Waltz.

This version of Ave Maria has the same beautiful melody as the original. The lyrics, while maintaining the well-known Ave Maria words, also have some English translation along with Christmas Lyrics. It talks about the angel giving Mary the message from God that she will bear his son and needs to journey to Bethlehem. The melody is for a soloist if desired and then SATB quartet or choir parts that give beautiful harmonies off and on throughout the song. There is a very pretty  optional instrument part that can be played on flute, violin or cello - parts included. It's worth a listen. 

Any requests or questions, email cdboss@cvalley.net. For an accompaniment, please email me with proof of purchase. 

Lyrics:
Ave Maria, I am an angel sent from God

Maria, here is God’s message

Maria, you will bear God’s son

Ave, Ave, Hail to the Lord

The Lord is with thee

Blessed are you among women

For you were born without sin

And blessed be the fruit of thy womb

Of thy womb Jesus Christ

Ave Maria…..

 

Ave Maria, mother of God

Maria, do not be afraid

Maria, God has chosen you

Ave, Ave Maria, the time has come

You will make a journey to Bethlehem

Where you will deliver God’s own son

And you will name your son Jesus

Your son will save the world from sin

Ave, Maria……….
