Your students will enjoy this collection of 24 songs for Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving and Halloween. Included are familiar favorites as well as lesser known gems. These exciting new arrangements for two violas include a melody viola part and an accompaniment viola part. Also included are twelve original mash-ups for two violas. Ten of the melody lines extend briefly into third position. The accompanying part remains in first position. but has some difficult passagework and chords. Simplified accompaniments have also been included for the more difficult ones. Viola students can use this book along with violin students to play violin/viola duets, as the musical selections are in the same key. Each piece includes an historical introduction. This is a new approach to holiday music making.

German - English.

Garth Knox is one of the most prominent violists of his generation, and as former long-time member of the Arditti Quartet he has developed and maintained a fondness of contemporary music. In the meantime, he gives concerts and teaches courses all over the world.

With 'Viola Spaces' he wants to make contemporary playing techniques accessible to advanced players. The pieces, or 'playing spaces', are true concert studies, each of them dealing with specific techniques such as harmonics, pizzicato (with 9 fingers!) or tremolos which are explained in great detail.

Another volume with modern playing techniques for two violas and a volume with variations on a piece by the French viola da gamba master Marin Marais for four violas are planned.

Duet for violas based on transcription of original recording. This arrangement is compatible with my other arrangements of this piece, if you want to have a duet with a different instrument.

Skyfall is the dramatic theme from the James Bond film of the same name, as written and sung by Adele. This version is arranged as a duet for two Violas.

Musicians at an intermediate standard and above will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performances, with plenty of interest and variety in both parts. The overall performance time is around four and a half minutes. The short audio sample is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full-length youtube performance is the Clarinet Duet.

Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to approach complex rhythms and syncopation. There is plenty of opportunity for expressive playing and a wide pitch range is used.

Here are 10 great pieces arranged for pure solo viola - no piano required! This collection has more than 40 minutes of classical and patriotic songs ideally suited for formal recitals, wedding celebrations, and background music gigs.

These are not just lame copies of the melody line; they are all fully worked out arrangements designed to be as rich as possible and to highlight the viola. These are direct transcriptions of the original "Pure Cello" series, now available for viola. As a professional cellist, I originally arranged these pieces for my personal use, and I have performed every one of them in public.

These are fairly challenging pieces; I would compare their difficulty to Bach Cello Suite #2 on the easy side and Bruch Cello Concerto on the harder side. But with some practice you will have some amazing additions to your solo repertoire.

Each of the songs in this collection is also available separately, but buying the full volume saves you over 60%.

Volume 1 contains the following:
1. Strauss Blue Danube Waltz
2. Dvorak Goin' Home (Largo from "New World" Symphony #9)
3. Schubert Ave Maria
4. Faure Apres un reve
5. Tchaikovsky Melodie
6. Marais Le Tableau de l'Operation de la Taille (Depiction of a Bladder Stone Operation)
7. Joplin The Entertainer
8. Calistri-Yeh Variations on "My Country 'Tis of Thee"
9. Sousa Stars and Stripes Forever
10. Ward America the Beautiful

This volume of studies is intended not only as a supplement to the ".Viola Method". but also, in the coise and varying difficulties of its contents, to be of value to every student of the Viola.
These studies which have been extracted from the multitude of excellent etudes for the Violin for their varying technical problems have been chosen with special regard for their suitability to the Viola. The order in which the student works at these studies is left to his, or his teacher's discretion, and therefore as it is not proposed that the book is worked through from beginning to end but that each technical problem is overcome by the most suitable exercise.
Unklike hitherto existing collections the technique of the instrument is divided under 7 main headings.
As the bowing exercises are in no way exhaustive space has been left for the student or teacher to devise his own.
