Synopsis
For three violins and cello or string quartet or children's string orchestra Roughly half of this selection of transcriptions of Baroque vocal and instrumental works consists of well-known pieces by the greatest composers of the period (Purcell: _Dido and Aeneas_ , Rameau: _Piéces de clavecin_ , Handel: _Water Music_ , _Music for the Royal Fireworks_ , J.S. Bach: In in B Major partita, C Major orchestral suite), but works by composers less well known nowadays (for example, G. Böhm and J. C. F. Fischer) are also included, together with unusual items such as Polish, German and Hungarian dances from 17th- and 18th-century Hungarian manuscripts: the Kájoni and Vietórisz codexes, and Eleonóra Lányi's music book. This volume, previously available in the _Leggiero_ series, is now, in a new guise, part of the series _Treasury for String Ensembles_. _Treasury for String Ensembles_ provides carefully selected original compositions and arrangements from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, compiled in volumes according to level of difficulty, from beginner's level to professional. * Elementary (all in first position): typically for three violins and cello or children's string orchestra. * Intermediate: typically for three violins and cello or string quartet or youth string orchestra. * Advanced: typically for string quartet or string quintet (with double bass) or string orchestra. The volumes are published in both printed and digital form. The printed edition contains the score and one copy of each part. Further copies can be ordered for the purposes of orchestral performance. The digital edition can be viewed on screen, and the parts can also be downloaded as A4-sized PDF files. The digital edition comes free with the printed edition, using the unique code provided.
