Product Description
A tribute to the hugely popular and perennial holiday
favourite The Nutcracker, this arrangement of The
Waltz of the Flowers for string trio (vln/vla/vc) comes with optional 2nd violin to replace the viola part. Slightly abridged to last a comfortable 5
minutes, this would make a great opener or encore for a Christmas concert.
Written with interest in all three parts, and taking turns with melody and
accompaniment, this is a very enjoyable arrangement for most ensembles of
intermediate/advanced ability. If you have a great viola player s/he will love
this! (If you have a less great viola/2nd violin player there is also a
slightly easier ossia part for the
position-shifting middle section)
Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for strings
are conceived specifically with the aim of writing interesting parts for all
players. All parts contain double-stopping and in the main do not go beyond 4th position (with the exception of a few
harmonics), making them suitable for student and mixed ability groups. A
complete score and set of individual parts (violin, violin 2, viola, cello) is
included. Enjoy and feel free to email comments or requests for other works
