The title of this collection was inspired by the words found in Psalm 150 verse 4: ?Praise Him with stringed instruments?? (KJV)

This collection contains 10 favorite hymns arranged as easy instrumental trios (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet 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 and CELLO in each song are playable in the first position making these arrangements an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. For each song, there is a combined score (grand staff) with all parts on each page (VIOLIN, CELLO, and PIANO) plus a separate 1-staff score for each string instrument part (VIOLIN and CELLO) and also a PIANO only score.

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

The classic hymn tune ST. CATHERINE by Henri F. Hemy (words by Frederick William Faber) has been arranged as an instrumental trio (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment). The VIOLIN and CELLO alternate leading with the melody throughout making this arrangement fun for both string players. Duration 2:15

The range for each string part is as follows: VIOLIN ? D4 to B5; CELLO ? C3 to D4. For both the VIOLIN and CELLO, all notes are playable in the first position making this piece an excellent choice for early intermediate string players.

At best, it's the 'Air' by Johann Sebastian Bach that can rival his setting 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude' in popularity: The final chorus from the Cantata BWV 147 'Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben' has become a really catchy tune, thanks to its simplicity and perfection, of which one can hardly get enough. This arrangement of this highlight of classical music is now perfectly suitable as a performance and concert piece for .piano trio.

This beautiful Christmas folk melody by John Jacob Niles is arranged as an instrumental trio (for VIOLIN and CELLO with PIANO accompaniment). The beautiful, lyrical style of this instrumental piece creates a mellow, curious atmosphere and is an ideal selection for any church setting.

Both the CELLO 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 VIOLIN carries the melody and the CELLO plays melody for the second verse. For the final (third) verse, the two parts alternate playing the melody as a solo followed by playing as a duet for the concluding phrases. The audio sample begins at the pickup to measure 7 after the PIANO introduction.

Ranges for the string instruments are as follows: VIOLIN ~ E4 to B5; CELLO ~ G2 to C4 (middle C). For both the VIOLIN and CELLO, all notes are playable in the first position. With the limited range and technical difficulty, this arrangement is an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players.

The purchase price includes these printing options:
1. a grand staff (8 pages) with all parts on each page
2. separate scores for the CELLO and VIOLIN (2 pages each) and PIANO (4 pages)
3. a combined CELLO and VIOLIN score (3 pages)
