Composed by Domenico Gallo. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Baroque,Holiday. Score and parts. 16 pages. RayThompsonMusic #4267155. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553762).

This music was originally attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi, as they were in a Mr R. Bremner's original 1780 London publication and also arranged by Hugo Riemann, and again wrongly attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi.

It is actually made up of 3 different pieces: Gallo's 2nd Trio Sonata in Bb. Mvts I and III, and Trio Sonata No 8 in Eb

All 3 Gallo mvts were used by Igor Stravinsky in the 3rd mvt. Scherzinoof his Neo Classical Pulcinella Suite. 

The Pulcinella Suite for small chamber orchestra and 3 vocalists which was derived from the ballet, was written in 1922 and has no vocal parts. 

But even though Stravinsky used Pergolesi's(which were in this case Gallo's) melodies and bass lines with little change, he managed to put his own unmistakable stamp on the music through his use of modern harmonies and occasional rhythmic modifications.

These are transcriptions of the original pieces, in their original keys.

They are interesting to play and  do not sound too dissimilar to Stravinsky's final work.


Arranged string trio with alternative violin 2 for viola.

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Classical,Holiday,Standards,Wedding. Score and parts. 8 pages. RayThompsonMusic #3532731. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553709).

The last movement of this Piano Sonata:Alla Turca, popularly known as the Turkish March, is often heard on its own and is one of Mozart's best-known piano pieces; it was Mozart himself who titled the rondo Alla Turca.

It imitates the sound of Turkish Janissary bands, the music of which was much in vogue at that time. Various other works of the time imitate this Turkish style, including Mozart's own opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail. In Mozart's time, the last movement was sometimes performed on pianos built with a Turkish stop, allowing it to be embellished with extra percussion effects.

I have have added additional voicings throughout.

The end section has an optional 8va for the 1st player...this will give the authentic Turkish feel, if you're brave enough to do it....LOUD!!

Plenty of scales for 1st and 2nd, but fun for all the players!!

Arranged for violin, viola and cello with alternative parts for 2.viola (2.vln) and 2.cello (3.vla)
