Small Ensemble Piano,Violin,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.882257 Composed by G. F. Handel. Arranged by A. Douglas Biggs. Contemporary,Easter,Sacred. Score and parts. 11 pages. Adrian D Biggs #5723155. Published by Adrian D Biggs (A0.882257). Agnus dei for high or medium Voice, Violin Solo and Piano uses as an inspiration the melody from the aria Ombra mai fú from Handel’s opera Serse. The long, lyrical melody borne forward by the steady, quiet, powerful accompaniment conveys a tranquil sacredness. The sense of entreaty and desire for benediction expressed in the Agnus Dei seems a natural fit with Handel’s famous melody. An introduction featuring Solo Violin precedes the voice calling out agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi. A solo instrumental meditation follows leading back to the conclusion of the piece. Arrangements for other ensembles are also available (Vocal Solo, SSA, SATB) as well as featuring, in place of Violin, Solo Flute, Oboe or Clarinet and soloist with chorus. Difficulty is moderate for both the singer, violinist and pianist and is suitable for a sacred setting or the concert hall. Duration approximately 4 minutes. Score and part included.
