Product Description

'Silent Woods' is composition by Antonín Dvořák; it is the fifth part of the cycle for piano four-hands, 'From the Bohemian Forest', composed in 1883 on demand of his publisher, Fritz Simrock. As it was popular in the late nineteenth century to make arrangements of popular works for other instruments, on 28 December 1891, Dvořák made an arrangement for cello and piano of 'Silent Woods', for a farewell concert tour he gave before embarking for the New World. The arrangement became so popular that he made a new arrangement for cello and orchestra in 1893. The arrangements were first published in 1894 by Simrock, who changed the German title given by Dvořák Die Ruhe (The Silence), a literal translation from the Czech Klid to Waldesruhe (Silent Woods). This arrangement for woodwind ensemble was originally created for Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble, London, UK.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
