Par COHEN MARY. Favourite carols and festive tunes have here been creatively arranged for the beginner quartet (Grade 1?2 ) by the ever-resourceful Mary Cohen. From the more solemn to the extremely boisterous, these arrangements explore a wide range of musical styles as well as many interesting string effects (including simple harmonics, col legno, pizzicato and tremolo). Conscious of the limited rehearsal time available in the mad rush up to the annual carol service or Christmas concert, Mary has also provided invaluable technique tips to help deal with problems which might otherwise disrupt the musical flow. There are plenty of opportunities for audience participation too for the more adventurous! / Ensemble Music, Methods

Intermediate-level arrangements of well-known Classical and Romantic works. Par AUTEURS DIVERS / BROOKER DAVID (Arr.). In his preface to 'Piano Trios on Stage”, the arranger, David Brooker, reminds us that, just as the string quartet, the piano trio has always been one of the pillars of chamber music. In the 19th and early 20th century, it was almost like the later invention of the gramophone record, allowing larger works, in arrangement, as well as lighter pieces to be presented to small audiences, often as background music. David comments that string players have plenty of easy material to introduce them to the pleasure of making music with other instrumentalists but when it comes to piano parts these are usually written or arranged with a teacher or more advanced student in mind. David sets out to rectify that imbalance and his arrangements aim to put all three players on an equal footing. Of easy to intermediate standard, they are ideal for violinists, cellists and pianists who are now ready to try their hand at proper chamber music. The music is fun and instantly recognizable, drawing on Grieg's 'Peer Gynt”, Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker” and Leopold Mozart's 'Musical Sleigh Ride”./ Recueil / Violon Ou Flûte, Violoncelle Et Piano
