Cello Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.800215

Theme from ‘New World Symphony’ by Dvorak – 2nd Movement ‘Largo’

This is a six ‘cello version of the famous Largo theme from the second movement of Dvorak’s ‘New World Symphony.’ The duration of the arrangement is 3 and a half minutes, making it a nice encore or perfect for inclusion in a varied program. All parts are written in bass clef and none go above 4th position, making it ideal for a student ensemble. If played by a ‘cello orchestra (rather than 6 individual ‘cellists) the solo and tutti markings should be observed with dynamics varied accordingly.

Keep Calm & Play Cello!

Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for ‘cello quartet, quintet and sextet are conceived specifically with the range and technical capabilities of the ‘cello in mind – no simple transpositions or re-orchestrations of string quartet scores. They are therefore both easily playable and enjoyable by any intermediate to advanced ‘cello ensemble. Most parts do not go beyond 4th position, making them equally suitable for student, mixed ability groups or ‘cello choirs. A complete score and set of parts is included.

A suite for the intermediate player, that contains elements of classical, romantic and baroque genres. Tempos are recommended guidance only- they work at any number of tempos (except for the allegro in movement 2). Otherwise, play them as you feel them. Movement 1 is really a set of variations on the main theme in D minor. It explores a moderate range of keys and rhythms. Movement 2 starts with an adagio that can be played quite freely, ascending from Cmaj up thru various keys, leading to an allegro/presto dance-like piano theme in Dmaj. Much room for tempo/dynamics interpretation then ending with a brief restatement of the adagio theme in a new key, followed by a mad rush up the cello to a high, quiet E, with small sighs to end the piece. Movements 3, 4 and 5 would be good performance pieces for students (melodically solid with multiple harmonic shifts, moderate bowing and fingering challenges and engaging rhythms).

Composed by Luis Cardoso. Contemporary. Individual part. 14 pages. Luis Cardoso #6167325. Published by Luis Cardoso (A0.934368).

Seres Imaginários 7 (Imaginary Baings 7) follows the cycle of compositions  about fantastic creatures started in 2012. Each movement is an imaginary being: Insonho is a witch of nightmares, that covers the mouth of the sleeper, but as it has a pierced hand, not stifles breathing. Uses a hoody and who manages to steal him can ask for money in exchange for his return; Alicanto is a bird with bright eyes and wings, whose flight does not project shadows. It feeds on precious minerals and help the miders to find them, since he did not see them. If he sees them, leads them to a cliff; Peeira is a keeper fairy wolves, that communicates and controls the packs.

The composition, like previous compositions of the same cycle, integrates modal languages, modulating them freely and intersecting them with alternative sounds.
