Rated intermediate for a handful of simple double stops in the 2nd violin part and a few tricky rhythms throughout, but this chart will be easily learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.

Colin Kirkpatrick?s Sanctusfor cello and piano is a lyrical, elegiac melody that reflects the spirit of abygone age. The musical language istonal but chromatic and has proved a popular item at cello recitals where it?sbeen played. The piano shares some of the melodic material with the cello andthe music evokes peace and tranquility; there?s a brief yet passionate passagenear the middle of the piece before the music returns to the quite place whereit began. Some sections of the cello part are written in the tenor clef and therange goes into the fourth position, though the note A5 appears once. This workwould make an excellent addition to a cello recital. The score (piano andcello) and the solo cello part are presented in a single 7-page PDF file. (Duration:03:07)

THE BEETHOVEN DUETS FOR VIOLONCELLO By Joe Procopio The Beethoven Duets by Joe Procopio is a collection of duets that artist -composer Joe Procopio has adapted and arranged from the 9 Scherzi found in Ludwig van Beethoven?s 9 Symphonies. These duets are unique. They can be performed as a duet for Cello I and Cello II and as a Cello ensemble in groups of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. Each Scherzo is published for many other orchestral instruments. They are published individually for each instrument; in a Three Volume Collection with 3 Scherzi in each volume; and in a Complete Collection containing all three volumes.Volume One has Scherzo No.1, Scherzo No. 2 and Scherzo No.3. Volume Two has Scherzo No.4, Scherzo No 5 and Scherzo No.6.Volume Three has Scherzo No.7, Scherzo No.8 and Scherzo No.9.The Complete Collection has all 3 Volumes for each instrument with all 9 Scherzi.What?s more they will soon be published in the Procopio PlayAlong Music Program. This is an exclusive MP3 music audio program personally designed and developed in which Player 1 plays along with a music audio track for Player 2.?To be sure, The Beethoven Scherzi Duets for Violoncello are a marvel of Beethoven?s skill with sections reaching the sublime. It is my deep felt personal belief that these Scherzi will bring you great pleasure and long lasting satisfaction.? Joe ProcopioAN INTRODUCTION TO THE BEETHOVEN DUETS By Joe ProcopioBecause of the complexities, range and sonorities inherent in all of the Beethoven Symphonies, it may seem impossible to transcribe any one movement as a duet that is true to the composer. Nevertheless, I believe these duets contain the heart, soul and essence of Beethoven?s melodies, rhythms and expressions; even though these works are tiny when they are compared to the Master?s great musical creations which have no equal.In fact, there is no comparison. However, my sincere hope is that since I have rendered some of Beethoven?s music as duets, his music is now more readily available to all permitting a greater number of musicians and all the people who hear their performances to come to know and love a bit of the world?s most valuable, breathtaking and beautiful music. In truth, Beethoven?s music has stood the test of time. He astonished people in his day whenever he performed his music or had his music played. He still does today. To be sure, his music has enhanced and enriched the lives of many of us for over 200 years.In performing and listening to these Scherzi you will find the whole of each work a marvel of Beethoven?s skill with sections reaching the sublime. Few composers have been able to write down on paper music of such incredible beauty that it reflects the awesome splendor of God?s creation. What comes to mind immediately is Beethoven?s ?Pastoral? Symphony No. 6. It has been said, that much of his music mirrors not only the magnificence of God?s creation but also the radiance of God the Creator himself.In any event, this music is simply amazing and awe-inspiring. A joy to listen to and to play. I know and can safely say without any hesitation or reservations that this collection will bring you much enjoyment.

Includes 15 pieces for the beginner cellist.Specially created for students using Suzuki and similar methods. For studentswho play in first position only, and for those beginning to learn shifting.
What makes this book special? It includes:
1. Pieces in the low register of the cello. Beginner booksoften focus on the A and D strings.
2. More lyrical pieces, meaning more song-like, more Romanticthan Baroque style.
3. A teacher accompaniment part (teacher edition only). Thestudents find it enjoyable, and it teaches them how important it is to listenand to play in time, in tune, and with dynamics. Can also be used for recitals.
4. Familiar tunes. What is familiar to one person is unknownto others, but I tried to put in pieces that many people would be familiar with.
5. Shifting with familiar tunes. When I was a student, Ifound it easier to learn a shift if the piece was familiar. My ear knew whereto go. I have included a few pieces with two versions: first position andshifting . The student can learn the first position version and then be able tolearn shifting with a familiar tune.
6. There is plenty of empty space on the pages for teachersto add markings.
7. Created by a cello teacher for cellists. Not adaptedfrom another instrument. Tested by real students.

As a student 40 years ago I wrote a thesis about all existing cello methods. Then I started writing my own method by putting all positive aspects of all methods together and revised the volume multiple times.
The music selection is the best I could find for each level progressing in tiny well prepared steps, enjoyable to play. Exercises compact and only when needed.
Volume 1 contains No 1-50 on 57 pages - first position, bow and reading skills, each piece in form of a cello duo to be able to play with a friend or teacher together - includes traditional songs, fiddle tunes and compositions by Beethoven, Bach, Purcell, Sor, Carcassi, Gretchaninov, Gruber and Neidhardt.
Probably the most researched and tested way to start learning the cello!
To each number are Video cello lessons linked published on Patreon. The links click through when viewed on phone, tablet or computer.
There are also Youtube recordings of all pieces as Cello Duos with fingerings and bowings as in the Cello Method, see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa4x_CVYDVRXAnJJ_6HeRujngwTZ8cMEd

This arrangement is for piano and violin, with an optional cello part. The cello adds some color, and is a relatively easy part, and it IS optional. So if you don't have a cello player to play with, don't sweat it. Your download includes the score, piano part, violin part and cello part. The audio sample was digitally produced.

This arrangement of Coldplay's Viva la Vida for cello ensemble was originally created for a Boulder Cello Project collaboration with Chase the Music. An 11-page score and four separate two-page cello parts are included. It can be played by groups as small as a quartet and works best with at least two cellists per part.

The thick texture of a cello ensemble is offset with driving articulated rhythms to bring vibrant energy to this piece that can only be offered by strings. In concert settings, optionally add driving bass drum quarter notes throughout, slightly ahead of the beat. Duration is approximately 4:05 at the indicated tempo.

This arrangement is for piano and violin, with an optional cello part. The cello adds some color, and is a relatively easy part, and it IS optional. So if you don't have a cello player to play with, don't sweat it. Your download includes the score, piano part, violin part and cello part. The audio sample was digitally produced.

"I Want It That Way" is one of the Backstreet Boys' biggest hits, and anyone who grew up in the 90's and early 2000's probably knows this one by heart! This version for string quartet will be perfect for pop concerts, solo & ensemble concerts, weddings, receptions, and any other occasion that needs some boy band throwback nostalgia - you're sure to get everyone singing along! Full of catchy melodies, beautiful layered harmonies, and a danceable groove held down by the viola and cello, this arrangement is just as much fun to listen to as it is to play. Rated intermediate - there's nothing very difficult in this chart (except possibly intonation when the key changes to B major at the end!), and it will definitely be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
