The Serenade from the Petite Suite by Alexander Borodin, originally for piano, is here arranged for cello duet. This lively tune is well suited to string instruments, and the pulsing rhythmic accompaniment works well as pizzicato. For less advanced players, double stops can be simplified or eliminated, and some parts can be taken down an octave.

Polovetsian Dances from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin. Complete No. 17 arranged for Clarinet Quartet.1 Clarinet in Eb;2 Clarinets in Bb;1 Bass Clarinet in Bb.Score and parts.

Borodin's String Trio in G minor dates from 1855, one of his early works for 2 Violins and Cello. It is based on the once well-known Russian folk song Chem tebya ya ogorchila (What have I done to hurt you?). The music is about 7 minutes in length in one movement with the lovely bitter-sweet theme and eight variations.

The Trio in G minor was largely forgotten until the mid 20th Century. Justin Chiang's lovely arrangement for Brass Quintet for advanced performers works exceptionally well.

Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C, Horn, Trombone, and Tuba.
