The Week, a set of viola duets for teachers to play with their students, so teacher and student can really enjoy making music together. We are so used to the viola playing a solo line, accompanied by a piano, that we forget the beauty of two violas playing as a duet. The two equal parts create so many possibilities in close harmonies and interweaving melodies. I have explored these sounds in The Week. There are five pieces, each with a different mood. The sounds of the instrument are explored further with different bowing techniques creating different feel. I hope students will enjoy this sound world, making the most of the interplay between the two violas.

Brandenburg 6 is a unique composition because of its original instrumentation (2 lead violas + string orchestra), and because of the nature of the first movement- that starts with a canon for the 2 violas playing the same line just one eighth note apart!

 Its fun to play, but hard to get the needed players to make it happen.  So here is a reduction where the violist plays the first viola part, and a keyboard does the second viola part plus a reduced version of the backing strings.

  This  piano reduction is meant to accompany a violist playing the original first viola part.  If you want an excellent contemporary typesetting of the first viola part,  you can get it at the Free Scores website-

PLAY ALONG MP3’s

There are mp3 files ‘in the cloud’  which you can download and use to practice with.  They use the stereo capability to have the soloist on one channel, and the keyboard on the other.  This way you can tune out your part if you want,  or leave it in, at a volume of your choice.  The tempo of the ‘playalong’ tracks can be adusted to your choice by using readily available playback software for instance, Roni music-https://www.ronimusic.com/,  or even websites that do it for you online.  Also,  even very inexpensive mp3 players in the under $20 range nowadays provide playback with adjustable tempo. 

The mp3 files can be downloaded from-https://app.box.com/s/xpkqc7xpkhlixbf56tsahqu3tkt83gpo

 xml files are also available if you have a notation program and want to customize the score or the sound files.

Composed by Michel Blavet (1700 - 1768). Arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Concert,Graduation,Standards. Score. 12 pages. Piper Publications #5739507. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811742).

This is the fourth of a set of six sonatas for 2 transverse flutes published in Paris in 1728. The playing score has been edited and arranged for a pair of violas. Viola players during the eighteenth century were largely ignored so here is an opportunity to have fun playing music from this period in the style of the original. The musical notation has been modernised. All edits are shown in parentheses ( ) or dashed lines. The trill ( +) has been replaced by tr and the mordants signs have not altered. The five movements, Andante, Allegro, Aria - Affetuoso, Minuet & Giga are for equal players of intermediate ability or above.
