An easy, bluesy piece with part 3 plucking/strumming a bass line and parts 2 upper voices harmonizing a simple melody. This can stand alone, or can be used as an accompaniment for one (or more) player to solo over. Beginner playing level. 3 parts plus score.
A simple, lilting waltz in D major. Very pretty tune arranges for a group with varying proficiency levels. Cello 1 has some high notes near the end. 4 parts plus score.
A very pretty waltz in E minor. Parts 1 and 2 trade melodies and then harmonize. Not terribly challenging for the most part. Part 3 has some tricky strumming and part 4 is very simple. 4 parts plus score.
Melodic tune in 3/4 time with interesting chord changes. A great piece for a group with mixed levels of player - part 1 is pretty high in places and fairly challenging - other parts are simpler - mostly intermediate. 4 parts plus score.
Slow, moody, pretty tune in E major. The key is challenging, but the tempo is very slow with mostly long notes. Perfect for a group with a range of skills: part 4 is very easy while upper voices pose more challenges - but it’s the easy side of intermediate. 4 parts plus score.
7 pieces noted for 1 to 3 cellos. Blues, folk & swing with a lot of interesting pizzicato techniques. Very upbeat, fun music - unlike any other cello book out there.
