String ensemble

Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, first movement

Posted by Owain on 27 November 2011 - 7:57pm
When I had the opportunity to tackle this piece with a school ensemble (it's not often there's three violas good enough available!), I realised that a major problem with the parts we had access to was their dense notation, full of editorial amendments such as complicated bowings. By presenting the pupils with this edition instead, with the minimum of extra information, they were able to tackle the notes without feeling too intimidated.

O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree)

Posted by Owain on 12 November 2011 - 6:15pm

This is a flexible arrangement, which I originally made for a primary school concert, in order to involve all string players, including those who had only been playing a few weeks and were still on open strings. Wikipedia provides the history of the song, and the lyrics in both German and English. It's also got an impressive list of other uses of the tune, from the Red Flag through to the official state songs of Maryland and Iowa...

Silent Night (violin trio)

Another simple little arrangement, with a very straightforward bottom part for near-beginners.
