A great festival piece that, while simple, retains an authentic Baroque sound! The melody moves between sections and all sections remain in first position using mainly three strings. Slurs, bow-lifts, double up-bow, and contrasting dynamics provide wonderful technical development in a fabulous setting in the key of G. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

All parts are playable in first position with the exception of fourth position required occasionally for cellos. Opportunities abound for students to polish Baroque bowing techniques.

The Handel op. 6 concerti are absolute gems of the Baroque string orchestra literature. While the parts to these concerti are widely available from a number of sources, they contain no bowings or fingerings, and no phrasing indications. Many orchestra directors do not have the time to prepare the parts that are available for purchase or download with these markings, yet without thorough editing, it is extremely difficult to achieve a musically unified high-quality performance of these pieces. It is my hope that this edition will serve the needs of the string education community who are interested in performing these works. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Art Sheinberg has discovered a gem from the late English Baroque keyboard literature and expertly scored it to sound as if it were originally for strings. The violin ll and viola parts are often doubled, as are the cello and bass parts; there are essentially three parts throughout. This gives a full and balanced sound which accommodates uneven instrumentation. Violin l parts are in third position much of the time, and alternate fingerings given for the other parts will keep other advanced players busy. The piece is in D major throughout, with the exception of brief excursions into A and B minor. Full of rhythmic drive and sparkling counterpoint, the piece is a sure winner with students and an excellent vehicle to teach detached style and ensemble independence.

In the five-part fugue, the double basses have their own independent line, so let them shine.
