for junior string orchestra or two violins and violoncello or violin, viola and violoncello. Par KOCSAR MIKLOS. Kocsár composed the Chaconne for three-part string ensemble in 1996. Originally a popular Baroque musical form, the chaconne is characterized by a set of ground-bass variations. In Kocsár's piece the 23-bar theme is followed by nine variations of diverse characters. The composition lasts about nine minutes and is rounded off with a recapitulation of the theme and a coda. The Chaconne can be performed by junior string orchestras consisting of either two violins and a cello or a violin, a viola, and a cello (with or without double bass), or by string trios consisting of two violins and violoncello or a violin, a viola and a cello. The edition includes a full score and one part for each instrument. If the work is performed by a string orchestra the parts may be copied as required for the number of musicians./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

String orchestras can now get a faithful arrangement of this lush English masterpiece by Edward Elgar. Arranged by Todd Parrish, the theme is followed by three variations, in their original keys, displaying both the emotion and power of the original, concluding with the unsurpassed beauty of 'Nimrod.' Optional timpani provides an even more exciting, authentic sound. (5:30) / Orchestre A Cordes
