The title of this collection was inspired by the words found in Psalm 150 verse 4: ?Praise Him with stringed instruments?? (KJV). The audio sample features the third hymn in this collection: "Close to Thee"

This collection contains 10 favorite hymns arranged as easy instrumental trios (for two VIOLINS with PIANO accompaniment). From flowing and peaceful to upbeat and festive, these arrangements are a welcome addition to the repertoire for beginning string students. These familiar hymn arrangements are equally enjoyed whether used for recitals, worship services, or to make practicing more interesting.

All notes for both the VIOLIN parts on all songs are playable in the first position making these arrangements an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player.

For each song, there is a combined score (grand staff) with all three parts on each page (VIOLIN 1, VIOLIN 2, and PIANO) plus separate 1-staff scores for each VIOLIN part as well as a PIANO only score.

Each song is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.

Here is an instrumental trio (for two VIOLINS with PIANO accompaniment) of the encouraging hymn \"Day by Day\" by Oscar Ahnfelt. Both VIOLIN parts get to lead with the melody at times making this a fun and equally challenging piece for both instruments while adding variety for the listeners. The VIOLIN 1 plays the melody for the first verse and then the two VIOLIN parts alternate playing the melody for the second verse.

The range for each part is as follows: VIOLIN 1 ~ F#4 to B5; VIOLIN 2 ~ A3 to B5. All notes for both VIOLINS 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. Though notated for two VIOLINS, the ranges are also accessible for other combinations of C instruments such as FLUTE on part 1 and VIOLIN on part 2.

The purchase price includes these printing options:
1. a grand staff (5 pages) with all parts on each page
2. separate scores for each VIOLIN part (2 pages each) and PIANO (3 pages)
3. a combined VIOLIN 1 and VIOLIN 2 score (3 pages)

These classic Easter hymns have been arranged for violin duet with optional piano accompaniment. Great for preludes, offertories, postludes, recitals, and lessons.

Sunshine is a bright jazz waltz for two violins and piano. The Piano Accompaniment Track is also available here on SMP ITEM ID: S0.1007669
It is in G major in ternary form. Both violin parts are equally divided and there is a "conversational" type improvisation section in the middle- could be a useful introduction to the style.
The violin has a range of 2 octaves with the highest note top F natural which comes twice.
It is 3 minutes in length and the full score is 12 pages. Upper end intermediate level but the youtube link has the full score for you to judge.
It would work well in a number of situations- concerts, weddings, productions, recitals, graduations etc.
Price is for full score and parts.
