The classic hymn tune ST. CATHERINE by Henri F. Hemy (words by Frederick William Faber) has been arranged as an instrumental duet (for VIOLIN solo with PIANO accompaniment). This stately, yet inspiring instrumental arrangement is an ideal selection for a church setting and a valuable addition to your sacred string ensemble repertoire.

The VIOLIN plays the melody for the first verse and then for the second verse, the VIOLIN adds harmony while the PIANO plays the melody. All notes for the VIOLIN are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player.

The purchase price includes a 5-page combined score with both VIOLIN and PIANO parts on each page plus a separate 1-staff score for the VIOLIN (1 page).

This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection ?Hymns and Choruses (A Collection of 10 Easy Violin Solos with Piano Accompaniment).?

This beloved, popular song by BRENDAN GRAHAM and ROLF LOVLAND is arranged as an instrumental trio (for two C-instruments with piano accompaniment). The beautiful, lyrical style of this instrumental piece creates a peaceful, endearing atmosphere.

Though notated with FLUTE on part 1 and VIOLIN on part 2, the ranges are also accessible for other combinations of C instruments (2 violins, 2 flutes, etc.). Ranges for each instrument are as follows: FLUTE (Part 1) ~ G4 to B5; VIOLIN (Part 2) ~ E4 to E5. For violin players, all notes on both parts are playable in the first position making this piece an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players.

Both the FLUTE and VIOLIN get to lead with the melody at times making it enjoyable and equally challenging for both players while adding variety for the listeners. For the first verse, the two parts alternate playing the melody as a solo followed by playing as a duet for the chorus. For the second verse, the FLUTE and VIOLIN play as a duet, alternating between melody and harmony. The audio sample begins in measure 14, at the beginning of the first chorus where both instruments are playing.

1. a grand staff (5 pages) with all parts on each page
