This score was transcribed based on the Homage of Yo Yo Ma to Ennio Morricone released on Twitter when he learned of his death. In his own words:

'I'll never forget the way Ennio Morricone described music as ?energy, space, and time.? It is, perhaps, the most concise and accurate description I?ve ever heard. We'll truly miss him.'

Here we transcribe and arrange perhaps the most emblematic melody of Morricone, transcribed for cello solo. The piece fits well at concert ends as an encore, or as a transition piece. You will impress your audience with this beautiful melody. Enjoy.

Volume 3 in the Pure Cello series has 30 classic Christmas carols that both you and your audience are sure to love. This is over 40 minutes of non-stop Christmas carols, specially arranged for solo cello.

[NOTE: If you purchased any of the "Christmas Carols for All" books for solo cello, those are all included in this volume]

These holiday favorites are a special arrangement for solo cello. This is not just another copy of the same old melody lines. Each carol is expanded with double stops to add a rich harmony for solo performance. Many of the carols are entirely in first position, and fingerings are included for anything that extends beyond that. Each carol is in its original key, so it is easy to combine these with your own choir or piano/organ parts.

Pure Cello Volume 1: Ten Concert Pieces for Unaccompanied Cello (S0.853829)
Pure Cello Volume 2: Ten More Concert Pieces for Unaccompanied Cello (S0.853843)

If you enjoyed Volume 1, you'll love Volume 2. Here are 10 more great pieces arranged for pure solo cello - no piano required! This collection has more than 30 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 cello. 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 2 contains the following:
1. Bach Toccata in D Minor

2. Brahms Hungarian Dance #5
3. Bizet Carmen Medley
4. Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet Introduction & Love Theme

6. Debussy Clair de Lune
7. Sousa Washington Post March
8. Vieuxtemp Variations on "Yankee Doodle"

El Noi de la Mare (The Child of the Mother) is a traditional Catalan Christmas song. Here it is arranged for solo Cello in the key of G major. The melody has been harmonized and elaborated upon. The tune is played first with the bow with some left hand pizzicato, and then strummed with pizzicato. The famous guitar arrangement by Miguel Llobet has served as inspiration. This arrangement has many chords and some artifical harmonics, and is suitable for advanced players. It would make a good piece for a solo recital or encore.
