Here is an easy instrumental trio arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment) of the peaceful hymn \"Like a River Glorious\" by James Mountain. This gently flowing arrangement will inspire calm reflection as the listeners are reminded of the lyrics penned by Frances Havergal: \"Like a river glorious is God\'s perfect peace, over all victorious in its bright increase?..Trusting in the Father, hearts are fully blest, finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.\"

Both the VIOLIN and the CELLO 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 verse begins with each instrument playing a phrase independently followed by the VIOLIN on melody and the CELLO on harmony. The first verse concludes with the CELLO on melody and the VIOLIN on harmony. Duration 2:00

The range for each part is as follows: VIOLIN ? C5 to A5; CELLO ? G2 to C4 (middle C). All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO 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.

Theselively arrangements are intended for the elementary pianists or keyboardplayers. While some duets are more challenging than others, the notation hasusually been kept as simple as possible and musical elements such as dynamics,articulations, phrasing and slurs have been omitted completely. To make thingseasier for the players, the piano parts are printed in large type with Primoand Secondo parts on separate pages. In the Secondo part, chordsare printed underneath the staff (rather than above) to create space for thefingering suggestions.

Elementarypianists rarely have the valuable opportunity of playing in an ensemble.
