The great Catalan pianist and composer Granados drew on material from all of Spain. His 12 Spanish Dances, Op. 5, derive from various regions, with this Playera representing Andalusia.

CYPRESS PUBLISHING is pleased to be the imprint for arrangements for string ensemble by Stephen Levintow. He is a free lance professional violist and violinist specializing in chamber music, who began making string quartet and trio arrangements for wedding, party and corporate events, to expand the repertory or to improve on existing versions. Selections include unusual pieces by both familiar and lesser-known composers, plus standard classical and popular favorites. 

The goal is to produce high-quality, musically satisfying arrangements faithful to the composer’s original material, yet sight-readable in most cases by working professionals or intermediate to advanced students. The full range of normal string technique is employed, while avoiding unnecessary technical complexity. Melodic material is distributed throughout the four voices where appropriate, to maintain listener and performer interest. All parts and scores are set in Sibelius© software format, with careful attention to legibility and page turns.

This beautiful Easter arrangement is for string ensemble. I wrote it for a string group that included experienced players as well as string players that had started only two weeks before. Parts included are: Score, Experienced Violin, New Violin, Melody Violin, Second Violin, Viola, New Cello and Experienced Cello. When my string group performed it, the bass player doubled the experienced VC. We also repeated the music and had the experienced violin part wait until the second time to play. This is the string friendly key of D. Both the new cello and new violin parts mostly rely upon open strings and the first note up from that. This is the perfect way for multiple leveled groups to play an Easter song together. Enjoy!

Designed to be a companion volume to any standard intermediate band method book (books 2 and 3) or to a book of etudes, Scales, Arpeggios, and Beneficial Studies for Intermediate Trumpet Player focuses on developing mastery in the keys and instrument range of what an intermediate player is likely to encounter in his or her everyday playing. The keys covered here in detail range from those with three flats to those with three sharps. Keys with more sharps or more flats are only very briefly touched upon. In addition to the usual major, minor and chromatic scales, studies on pentatonic and blues scales are also included.

The book also includes interval studies, flexibilities, double and triple tonguing, range building, swing style basics, and a suggested warm-up. Additionally, several pages of technical studies inspired by H. L. Clarke's renowned book are included. Another notable feature is a section on expressive playing, including vocalises, traditional melodies, and melodies from symphonic composers.
