Product Description

This tune that is attributed as a Traditional Jewish tune. It was included in a book of canons and rounds by British composer Philip Hayes in 1878 called, The Muses Delight. American artist Don McLean recorded it on his album American Pie under the title "Babylon. Isaac Wardell set new lyrics from Isaiah 53 with in his song By His Wounds. Here is an arrangement of this tune for violin and piano.

The violin part is at a difficulty Level 6. It includes passages in 1st - 6th positions. There are sixteenth note arpeggiated figures and some 4 note rolled chords that will give a challenge to any player. The mournful tune will also give players an opportunity for bow control development and work with the long phrases this tune carries. 

A simplified part is included that can be used with the same accompaniment. It is set at a difficulty Level 4. It uses 1st and 3rd position with a 4th finger extension for harmonic E6. The 4-note chords have been simplified to using a grace note before the beat and then long arpeggios have been simplified to include only 1 beat of arpeggios per measure.
